No.

Not at all. That CPU can handle a lot more than a 270x. But the 270x is still a nice GPU. Should get you high settings on most titles.

I'm planning to cross fire the gpu in the future

Get the FX8320
G.Skill Ares 1866mhz RAM
a R9 280 or 285
Antec Eco Neo 620w psu

The price should be almost the same if not cheaper and the build will be more reliable.


I would have made all of these changes for you if you would have used partpicker

Turbo has a very good suggestion. One powerful GPU will be better than two less powerful ones. You would think that you get twice the performance as one, but that isn't how it works. On average, you will only get about 40% increase in performance by adding a second GPU in either crossfire or SLI. This also obviously depends on the GPU.

Here not only is this cheaper, it's MUCH better

That's a fricken steal for that PSU! Even the base price of $54 is not bad.

I got it for $35 if you include my rebate!
