You arent going to get much of a gaming CPU with a $70 budget. Save a little more and get a CPU that is worth your money, you will regret buying a $70 processor for gaming.
i just got an A6-3650 and that works great on games like RIFT on maximum everything. res@ 1440*990
i did knock off a bit of draw distance and antialising after a few hours of play as it was dropping a few frames.
i will add a crossfire card soonish, to give it a boost but it great atm.
and with the added bonus of been a new socket so i hope that it will be around for a few years yet, as an upgrade path.
If you can spend a little more on an Athlon II X3 445 it would be alot better. Still, if $70 is all you have then the 270 isn't bad. You can do some minor overclocking with the stock cooler and add an aftermarket cooler latter.
Half of these parts i bought already but the original build i order the Biostar motherboard arrived Dead. But I'm not looking for intense Gaming like Crysis 2 I'm going to play games like Lineage 2, Modern Warfare and MMO's. Right now i only have $127 for a motherboard and CPU.

I really suggest waiting at least until have an extra $20.It would really mean the difference between getting something really crappy towards something you can actually use for now and in the future.You budget is just way to low for what you want to get out of it.
I suggest returning your GPU and going for a llano CPU.That way you have a solid CPU and already have a discrete GPU.And you can add another later for much better performance.
The problem isn't the CPU it's the motherboard.Their really isn't much offered at the $50 range.You gotta think about expandability as well as functionality so it's not just a waste of money.Unless you consider this purchase a quick fix.
For me, Cheap Systems = Lots of troubles.
As said above the CPU is not the problem, the MOBO components, quality, specs are the determinant factors here.
And yes you can go APU based system, but even a great APU costs than your budget.
As far as paying less for a motherboard ASRock is the best way to go. Too bad you can't spend a little more to get an AM3+ motherboard just to give you a little more room to upgrade in the future.
