Hello everyone. I'm looking for a good starting rig for my cousin and I. We're converting over to PC gaming and looking for a really good foundation for a rig that doesn't punch a hole in our wallets.
We play mostly Steam games but my cousin wants to start a Twitch Channel with me as well. The most intense games we'd probably play on this rig is Skyrim (with RealVision END on Ultra and maxed out), Splinter Cell Blacklist, League Of Legends and maybe in the future, we might pick up our own copies of Titanfall.
We're really looking for a rig that can do most of those things which is about 600-650. If we can go less than that, it'd be even better. I was hunting around on Newegg and I found this combo here:

Is this a good base for a gaming rig and if it is, which GPU do you guys recommend? I wouldn't want to spend more than about 200 bucks on a GPU. I've heard good things about the R9 270 and seen a lot of videos reviewing it but I would still feel better if I got some professional opinions. I found the R9 270 on sale on Newegg for 180 bucks and I'm wondering if I got two of those, I could Crossfire it and it would then fit the bill for our needs?
I appreciate any and all help with this endeavor. If this build is crap, could you guys help me build a good rig that could do most of the games I said above without a lot of lag? Like I said, we're not looking to spend more than 650 bucks per rig.
Thanks!
EDIT: Link changed. I accidentally put in the wrong link. Sorry guys! New link has the 16 GB of memory. That's the one I'm looking at right now.
