Will the Amd Fx-6300 "bottleneck" the Amd R9 270x

no it will not. you'd probably be fine with a 280X so yeah, the 270X will be fine. The only thing I could see it bottlenecking in is in poorly optimized games like skyrim and civ 5, but even then, it wouldn't be much of an issue anyway. You'll be fine with that card and that cpu :)

Is that for just the motherboard? I'd need the budget for just that :p

Regardless, I came up with a build:

If you have any of those parts already lying around, you can deduct them from the price. Such as OS, hard drive, case, optical drive.

That motherboard is crazy expensive why not go for something cheaper like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130679

Because you can get a much nicer OC on the 990FX board. But it's up to the OP. I've only ever heard bad things about MSI boards.

With that CPU, MOBO and maybe changing the PSU, does it handle to crossfire 2 x R9 270x ?

I have the FX-6300 and the Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 2Gb Dual-X OC and everything works great. BF4 on ultra works fine on roughly 55 fps with boosts and drops.

I have a system with the AMD FX-6300 running at 4.5GHz. It is paired with a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard and two Radeon HD 7870 2GB cards in a CrossfireX configuration. I went with a sturdy 80+ Gold Power Supply (750W XFX Black Edition Unit) and am quite content with the systems performance.

The AMD FX-6300 rarely bottlenecks this CrossfireX config once overclocked. At stock clocks it did result in some bottlenecks but who cares... for the price the system puuurrrrs.

^ please don't get that sucky MSI board, it'll likely throttle....no VRM heatsinks. Many people have come to this forum crying their CPU is throttling in games and it ends up being a POS motherboard.

I agree with others, the fx 6300 with HD7870/R9 270 or R9 270X is a really nice pairing and should play pretty much anything on 1080p on ultra, at the very worst high
