I have the gigabyte r9 270x and g.skill ripjaws 2x4gb 1866. I have a max of around 450 to spend on everything else. I was thinking about the fx-6300 as the processor but not sure. How should i complete my build?

I agree with enemy1g.
The MSI 970A-G4x boards appear here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0 as having weak VRMs that may pop under load. While it should be a less likely problem with a 95W CPU, it isn't a chance I'd care to take myself. The cheapest options are probably the Biostar TA970 boards. Although Biostar is not high on my list, that they are not noted for problems on this spreadsheet is a good sign. Otherwise, I would choose Asus or ASRock.
