Choosing a motherboard to go with either a FX-8320 or FX-6350

I'm building a computer, but after getting multiple questionable suggestions, I'm hoping I can actually get helpful information to help me figure out what motherboard to get or at least give me useful suggestions.

My first option I've looked at is FX-6350 with the MSI 970A-G46 ATX motherboard since I can get it as a bundle from Microcenter for $160. I've heard that the motherboard though isn't the best and can only handle certain wattage and is a bit unstable. I've also considered the M5A97 R2.0.

Second option some one suggested is FX-8320 with the Biostar TA970 ATX but the motherboard seems like it may not actually support crossfirex and have a few other issues.

My budget for the computer is about $700 total with about $280 for a processor and motherboard. Just a note since I don't know if it is useful or not, but I plan on getting a 270x or 280x graphics card.

For better clocking you can use M5A97 EVO R2.0.Thats good motherboard.But if you don't want to overclock FX-6350 use M5A97 R2.0(i have).
FX-8320 will be good working on M5A97 EVO R2.0...I have this CPU on my ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0...
