Msi H77MA-G43 is good for crossfire?

Hi. Just interesting it's good motherboard for crossfire, and it's good idea to buy 2 x rx 560?

Good for Crossfire. Bad idea to Crossfire two RX 560s. You'd be better off with a single high-end card than two med/low-end cards.

Thank you. I know that one is better, but i'm on a budget. Also what cpu need for one gpu? I have i3-3225. And what cpu in crossfire mode?

You'll still be worse off than whatever you else you can get for the price of two of the 560s. SLI/Crossfire support has been fading rapidly and in many new games, does very little. The least expensive 560s I see in stock are $135 each after rebates. The 1060 6 GB is sneaking under $300 right now. You could even buy a single 1050ti, which will perform similarly in the world of poorly supported Crossfired GPUs as 2x460 and save like $100.

Unless you already *have* a 560 or you're running a high-end system in which you need more than a single GTX 1080ti, there's literally no compelling reason, budgetary or other, to look for a multi-GPU solution.

Doesn't matter if you're running a single card or two cards in Crossfire. Get the best you can afford. The best you can get is going to be an Ivy Bridge Intel Core I7. The best for your motherboard is going to be the Intel Core I7-3770 (non-K).

Now I realize you're on a budget, but really. You'd be better served by saving up to get a better single card graphics solution.
