I am not asking for you to change anything. I just want to know how well games like minecraft,DayZ,Gmod, Advanced Warfare, and such games would run. Or if you can show me a build that will run those kind of games well. My budget is $500-550 i would appreciate it. Thank You guys.
 
The processor is really weak and old. I'd recommend going with an fx series 8-core or an intel i3 or i5 (whichever is in your budget range). For the GPU, the 270 is decent, but a 270X or a 280 would be much better and would be able to play modern games further into the future than the 270 will be able to.
