Should I get the Asus Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard? Because it looks pretty good and has all the right slots and sockets but the problem is it has crossfire compatibility and I am getting a Nvidia 750 ti. And also is it a good motherboard in general for a budget gaming build?

Thanks for your time/responses

It's a good budget board. There is no problem with the crossfire support and using the 750ti. The graphics card will work fine.
If you're using a 8-core AMD CPU, I recommend going with the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P instead. It has a better power phase design and has almost the same features as the ASUS one.

Thanks for the reply. But I am using a AMD fx 6300 6 core CPU so I'm not sure if that changes anything?

Yeah my first choice was a MSI motherboard but most people and reviews say they are pretty bad and I trust ASUS a bit more and I am on quite a small budget .
