SLI or Crossfire: Yes in the future
The parts i have chosen are:
Case
I am reusing my brothers case as I am putting this build together for him
CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819106001 I am thinking of getting this processor because this would allow me to overclock it relatively easy and it also has graphics that I could crossfire with a (6670 I think it is) and this would be a cheap/good setup
Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813157278 I am looking at this motherboard because it is made by ASRock reputable company it has 2 PCI-E 2.0 slots and it also has 4 memory slots and it's the best bang/buck motherboard for FM1 I think
Already have a Coolermaster 600W PSU with enough connections to supply power to this
Optical Drive
Already have this
Cooling
Have an Extra Hyper 212+ laying around
Monitor
Already Have
Operating System
Windows 7 64 bit
If you have any reccomendations on how to make this cheaper and still have good performance please input it I do not mind the second PCI-E slot being X4 bandwith
The A8 is going to unperform even an x4 955 most of the time in gaming. You may be better off going with non-crossfired graphics and a cheaper motherboard and a better graphics card instead. Depending on what you can get deal wise.
Not sure how well that the A8 onboard chip will crossfire with the different model stand alone card too. I would check into it before I went ahead with this plan.
Possibly better off with an i3-2100 and H61 motherboard if your looking for gaming performance. And then buy the best single Graphics card you can squeeze into your budget.

Llano APUs hybrid crossfire with HD6400-6600, 6670 would work.
