CPU: AMD X4 860k
MOB: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270X Twin Frozr
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
PSU: Some 500W or 550W from a good brand.
CASE: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO


So, what do you guys think? I already bought the GPU, so it can't be changed, but if you have any idea to make it better, without changing too much the price, please tell me.
I'm going to play some recent games...
For example, battlefield 4. Do you thinks it'll run at 1080p with high settings at 40+ fps?

Thanks!

I recommend this build, better CPU, the athlon is outdated for gaming now. And I've placed a good PSU tier one and highest quality possible. I selected Seagate Barracuda as storage because its a little bit cheaper but you can change because the difference is little.

And you will have 40+ fps with that build on BF4, dont worry.

Thanks rafa.. I already considered the fx 6300, the fx is really much better than the x4 860k when it comes to gaming and streaming, things like that.
But I'm not doing that, just gaming...
Even in gaming the fx 6300 have better performance than the x4 860k, but no that much... Here in Portugal the difference between the prices of them 2 are 25€, and that's a little bit and maybe not worth the performance difference? And also the motherboard I mentioned is a pretty decent deal, I guess it has a 6+2 powerphase which is awesome for that price....
And also people say that AM3+ is dead, so I guess going with FM2+ is going to give me more upgrade-ability?

Anyways, if there's a decent motherboard for the fx 6300 at 60€ I might go with it... because I think that the motherboard you mentioned, as Bossyfins said, the 4+1 powerphase could be a problem, right?

Thanks.
