On the motherboard im planning to have two 7970s and just wondering if you could like crossfire the integrated graphics with the video card or would it even work i have no clue.

You won't find a mATX with 2 pcie. Anyways, the only reason to use 2 PCI Express 3.0 is if you want to have 2 GPUs. In that case you can't get mATX and have to get a 990 series mobo.

whyso

Forget about any APU or igp if you want crossfire 7970. You will need a 8350 (probably OC too) to drive those graphics cards. Even if it was possible your fps increase from the igp would be around 5% and with AMD poor hybrid crossfire drivers its never going to happen. Switch the mobo to an AM3+ board too for FX.
