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.

I wouldn't run a 8320 or 8350 watt CPU on that board.

ok well then im thinking of purchasing this board (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97r20) to run an 8350, do you think it would be worth it or is this mobo a P.O.S

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

^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.

You will want a good 500W-550W to run your system with a GTX960, but it will work just fine with your motherboard.
