That's a good board. better than the other one. It should work with either of those CPUs out of the box.

If buying it new, yes.
If this is an older version of that board, please list the Rev. number. The one in the link is 5.1. Is that yours? There are 3 revisions of that board. We need to know the rev number of the board in question to be sure it has the correct BIOS.

^The reason he says that, and I agree, is because these CPUs need a lot of power, and the VRMs on that motherboard are weak and there are no heatsinks on them. It would be safer to limit your choice to the 95W FX-6300 on that board.
If you do not already have that board, I would suggest a 900-series board other than the MSI 970A-G4x boards, which also have weak VRMs (even the one with heatsinks). Note that any "960," "980," or "970DE" board may actually have a 700-series chipset.

Edit: My comment refers to SR-71's first remark. The Asus 970 is a good board.
