My current PC has 6 years, I need the new components to use in the next 5 years (In the last 2 years, I don't care about run the games ate low settings... I only want run them without breaks).

I think about this components:
- Asus M5A97 R2.0 (86.04€)
- AMD FX 8320 (122€) ou FX 8350 (149€), do you think the diference of 27€ has justification? Any Intel for the same prices withe same perfomance?
- Kingston DDR3 HyperX FURY Black 8GB 1866mhz (70€), 1600mhz or 1866mhz? This board/cpu is enought to use the 1866mhz?
- Sapphire DUAL-X R9 270X OC 2GB DDR5 (152.09€), this graphic card is PCI-Express 3.0, I know will lose same perfomance, correct? A lot of them or only a little?

All prices is from Amazon.es

Sorry for my bad english.
All suggestions are welcome, thanks for your time.

The Motherboard you listed is a decent AMD motherboard, I have one myself, its pretty good. and the FX 8320 is a good chip, I wouldn't bother with the 8350 if you are comfortable overclocking, the 8350 is literally the same chip, only the factory overclocks it for you.

The build I listed however will generally outperform the AMD build you were looking at. Especially in gaming, the Intel i5 is far more efficient.
Here is a build that comes close to your budget. The prices are based out of the UK only because PcPartPicker didnt have an option for Portugal.

I included a power supply because That power supply is unknown to me. The power supply is the most important part of your computer so the unit I included is a top tier unit and will give your excellent reliability.

I also included a new CPU cooler because the one you have now doesnt look like it will mount to newer CPUs.

Let me know if you have any questions.
