Will an AMD 8 7650K bundled with an ASUS r9 270x work well?

Hi guys I was just wondering if n AMD 8 7650K bundled with an ASUS r9 270x work well and if it will play Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Fallout 4? I'm not looking to playing them at ultra settings or anything. Medium - High.

Better is chose X4 860K + R9 270x * this same performance and you save money for other things
What is your budget and country ? I make best build for you

You would be better getting an equivalent Athlon. The A-series is basically Athlons with a beefy integrated GPU stacked on top of it. Since you are getting a discreet graphics card with it, you don't need the integrated GPU, so you can go with an Athlon, get similar or better performance, and save some $$$.

Thanks for the reply. My PC already has the 7650K in it as I just bought a simple gaming PC not too long ago. Would it be worth swapping out the 7650K for an 860K or should I just leave it?

If you PC already have this is CPU leave him, I concern more about what PSU you have inside this PC.
What is your PSU model ?

Just leave it. It's not worth spending $80 just to get a CPU that's a little better. Either save up and do a total overhaul, or put the money allocated for the CPU into a better graphics card.

A8-7650K is basically 860K with lower base clock + iGPU both can be OC to similar level.

The PSU was the first thing I changed after getting the PC. I have an EVG 500w 80+ Bronze

Your PSU will work with r9 270x, any way from what Country you are and what budget you have for this ?

I'm from England and I can spend up to £150 and really want to be able to play Mirrors Edge: Catalyst and Fallout 4.

If only want upgrade for only this two games wait for games release, and then buy better GPU at this same price.
