I want to get the Fx-8320, However i found a motherboard that is a Micro Atx, not to bad.. Not 100% sure if i should go for a higher chipset.

Chipset is Amd 760G, it says for Fx Cpus, supports 125w. I am still not sure.
Or should i go for a higher chipset such as Amd 970? Again this is for the Cpu. Fx-8320.
I don't think 760g supports 8-cores, hell it might but even then. You want a full ATX board for all the features and for overclocking. Why buy an 8320 and not overclock that's like... having a cake.. and not eating it..
Get a 990fx full ATX motherboard. 760G is pretty old and might not support 8 cores or overclocking, like CaptianPip said.
it does support overclocking and it does support 8 cores (pretty much all 7XX and up chipsets do) but it does not support USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s
It will support the FX Series, just update the bios. Overclocking however, you will not get far. Trust me. Personal experiance. The M5A78L only has a 4 Pin CPU Power, you want at least an 8pin
As the former owner of a 760g board I can tell you overclocking is not a very viable option.
You simply won't be talking about overclocking at that kind of budget. I'm sorry to say that it is rather an impossible task to find a board at less than $100 that is worth risking your hardware over.
Also, btw, if you are NOT looking to overclock, which you shouldn't be, then MSI makes some pretty nice motherboards in the 970 lineup for really cheap amounts of money, so do ASRock. I like those brands because they are usually really inexpensive and as far as MSI goes, they have good quality. And then on top of that, they have good aesthetics. But you must check the number of power phases via an alternate source, as they don't put them on the website. ASRock does, Asus usually does, the rest of the manufacturers, not so much, unless you are Gigabyte and just released the worlds first 32 phase board.
If you not gonne run sli or crosfire setup, and you gonne do a little oc by for example enable the turbo core, then a mainboard with 970 chipset is a good one..
i have a Asus M5A97 evo rev 2.0 on a FX8350 and it runsss fine, all settings on auto clocks the cpu to 4.2 ghz :D
further the board has nice feutures, 2x usb 3.0 on the back, and a fron usb 3.0 header for 2 additional fron usb 3.0 ports. about 8 usb 2.0 ports, and 3 usb 2.0 fron headers. 6x sata 6gb/s.. so yes its a pretty nice board.
only thing it has only 1 pci-e x16 slot and one pci-e x 8 slot :) but eaven then you can run a crosfire setup very well if you want
