Hello,
I am planning to build a custom PC, and so far have all the pieces I need to make the PC altogether. A friend recommended one motherboard to me, but I wanted to see if I could get one similar with crossfire support that still is at or around $100. The specs my build has include:
- AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
- ASUS Raedon HD 7870 2GB
- Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
- Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
- NZXT Source 210 Elite (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
- Apevia 700W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
- Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
- Etekcity High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual Antenna
(thermal paste is also included so don't worry :p )

This Asus M9A97 R2.0 is perfect for you... Its just over $100 but you may be able to get it for cheaper in other sites or your local store...

And if i were you i would not get that power supply that you have selected.
I would get the Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750M

Its modular and 80+Bronze so its much better than the apevia one... Never skimp on the power supply, its one of the most important parts of your system. If the power delivery is screwed up, then it could harm the other parts of your computer
