Hard to do any better for $500.

Except you are missing components. Do you have the rest, such as the PSU, HDD, OS etc?

yes it's pretty good for that budget.

However I highly recommend going if you can to a i3 and a H87 motherboard. Games don't need 6 cores, and games don't want a ton of multithreading. They rely on single threaded performance which the i3 excels in.

the case seems to come with a 480w psu already in it so no need for that and in the future i will be adding a ssd when i have the money as for the os i already have it.

but wouldn't the 6 cores be better for bf4 and multitasking? and i would like to know if my gpu is alright and if my cpu would bottleneck with it

The 6300 is not going to bottleneck the 270.

would the 270x give me the ability to max out any game in the description?

Bro, FX is no good. Never buy an FX. Just get an Intel processor instead of crappy yet expensive FX's... They have low efficiency in single-core tasks.

 

[Goodeggray]

The 270x should max out the 2 games.

 

[gahwahfoogi]

The 270x should max out the 2 games.

but should i stay with the 6300 or should I get a 8320? it's an extra 2 cores and would the 270x max out grid 2 or should i get a better gpu?

Don't ever get a case with an included power supply. Most of them are VERY bad.

is the 265 better than the 270x? and is the athlon better than 6300? because if not i dont mind spending a little more on a psu with the 270x and 6300

 

[Goodeggray]

The 6300 and 270x is better than 750k and 265. Check Tomshardware's recommended Cpus and Gpus.
