your apu isn't ideal but do you NEED a cpu? I don't think so.

I love my FX-6300 (better performance and cheaper than what you suggested). I take it you are looking for FM2 socket CPUs though (FX-6300 is an AM3+). I'm not sure why you are looking for an APU if you already have a 270x. I thought those were only useful if you didn't have a graphics card.

EDIT: I didn't read it carefully enough. If you already have that APU, it will probably be fine. If you are looking for an upgrade, I would highly recommend the FX-6300 as it has awesome quality for the price.
