The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 is a great motherboard for the price. It has a VRM heatsink and is good for the price. It's around 40 pounds (not sure what it will be in $). The socket TDP is also 125w so it will support the 8320. Just don't overclock on it.

TDP (Thermal design power) refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate...

The 6300 requires a minimum of 95Watts when the 83xx series require at least 125W

For that price, you cannot go wrong!

Buy it now, just don't Overclock on it.

The 78LMT is fine for overclocking. You guys are interpreting TDP ratings incorrectly and the VRM is good for overclocking.
