I have decided on the following components for a system that I'm assembling:

Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet

Corsair CMPSU-GS600W 600 Watts PSU

MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard

AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor

G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)

Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Seagate Barracuda 500 GB Desktop Internal Hard Drive

HP DVD1260i-UH07D / DVD1260i-UH03 C DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive

Cooler Master SickleFlow Blue 120 mm Cooler

I'm looking to combine these components and was hoping for any ideas on possible bottlenecks and in-compatibilities when we combine these.

Also the Graphics card is by far the costliest component in the assembly and I'm looking for an inexpensive option if possible.

I'm looking to play the following games at the highest settings:

BF4, COD: Black OPS 2, Far Cry 3, Max Payne 3, AC4, Crysis 3 and also strategy games like Dota2.

Don't know about the Scickle flow, but I've had the FX 6300 @ 4.4GHz on near stock voltage under a Hyper 212 EVO and it ran great.

My old 1090t @ 4.0GHz could do Crysis 3, max details with 2x SMAA @ 1080p in the 40-60+ FPS range on a pair of HD 7950's in crossfire.

On most of the games you've listed, the GPU will be the bottleneck. For BF4, a second R9-270 in Corssfire or a single R9-290 will get you there.

You could manage them at high settings though the frame rate wouldn't be as high in crisis 3 or bf4. No there isn't a less expensive option unless you got a card second hand.

Your build is solid, I do not see any incompatabilities . It will work very good in high settings. In ulta settings I think you might have some issues but will be dimished if you use CrossfireX with your GPU. My suggestion is :
1) Look for a R9 270x with CrossfireX and you will play these games like a boss ( +30-40$ , depends on the company you choose + the capacity , 2GB is enough for 1080p gameplay )
2) I would say find a bigger HDD like 1TB, Im a gamer myself and I know 500GB is like not much.
3) CPU is good but it can get a little better but then maybe you are gonna need a 650w problably, better do the upgade on GPU
4)If you are not overclocking do not go over 1600mhz on Ram , 1600mhz is just perfect.

So then MSI AMD R9 270X GAMING 2G 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card which has Crossfire support would do the trick?

If my options were to be limited between the HD 7850 and the R9 270, which would I choose or are there any differences? Would the R9 270 be compatible with the other components?
