well no look at gigabyte at the boards supported list

revision 1.3 = no all the way

revision 3.1 = just a few am3+ but not the one you asked about

http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3967

so you need to know what revision board your running

Smashing!

Id you're intesested, im planning on upgrading my current spec:

CPU= AMD FX-4100 quad core 3.60 GHz
RAM = 8.00GB
Graphics= 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
Hardisks = x2 500gb HDD's
PSU = Storm 600w
motherboard = gigabyte technology, M68MT-s2

By adding the following parts:

MSI Radeon R9 380 GAMING AMD Graphics Card 4GB (£150)

AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 95W (£81)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5inch SSD (£57)

Can you see a problem with this? or would you recommend other parts or whatever? Just interested in everyones opinion.

that rev 3.1 was what was called a ''black socket'' am3+ it was a convert am3 made to quickly support the first release bulldozer chips and that's about it .. instead of a refresh 6300 you need to stick with a older first release am3+ chip listed [and then good luck finding that ]
