The title says it self, It the Bang for the Buck Motherboard for AM3+ Socket :P Before I continue with my review, I'd like you to know that It's going to be a Long Ride so Buckle up and yeah I'm using it with AMD FX 6300 + XFX HD 7770 Core Edition + 8 GB Ram + Corsair VS450 and Yeah I'm using the MoBo for a month now so here we go.

The Box Includes -

After a lot of research, finally brought the 970A DS3P motherboard. Now this one is rock solid. Do not go by the details mentioned here on flipkart as they are incomplete (I hope the complete it after reading this) Go over to Gigabyte website to check. I don’t overclock so cant share that experience. My use is mostly work, fun with light gaming like FIFA 14 and NFS and they both work like a charm.
Note that this does not have built in graphics card so you need to budget for one

This motherboard is about the best it gets in the price range..... sadly its tough to overclock well with it , really wish i had taken asus or some good overclocking one (altho i read a lot of bad support from asus reviews)

I've never had any problems with my old gigabyte mobo for like 7 years + ....so ultra durable i guess ....I'll know when this one starts acting weird :P but overall good usb 3 support , 3 extra fan slots ....

the only bad part i guess is the F_audio/usb pins for the fro...

Well this motherboard does what it should and does it with aplomb. For this price of Rs5671/- you cannot get a better board from any of the other manufacturers. Waiting to plonk in the 6300 processor in the near future and see it get a new lease of life.

This is the best motherboard in this budget.....

this motherboard support any kind of amd fx processor.....and its sound quality is awesome...

It's a very High-End Budget Motherboard for Budget as well as Hardcore Gamers.Most People tend to buy AMD 990 FX Socket Motherboards for AMD Processors,but i must tell u that this one here is a beast in terms of performance and value

Good product

Do not go for this mother board(Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P Motherboard) if you are planning to build linux based system. There is no support from GIGABYTE for Linux.
Also network(ether net)drivers not part of default installation of UBUNTU 14.04, 14.10,15.04.
USB3.0 hangs frequently
