The following is my specs :

MOBO : Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
CPU : AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor OR AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
GPU : Asus Radeon R9 270 2GB Video Card OR R9 280X
PSU :Corsair CS550
RAM :Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
HDD :Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Is the Cpu and Mobo compatible with each other. If possible, recommend me some specs that could be better for the same price.

I want to play Battlefield 4 on High/Ultra with a good FPS. I am also running on a tight budget ($600 I cant go any higher)

Thanks
 
Couldn't manage to fit a decent CPU cooler into that budget and stay around and under 600 (just forget about the cooler and buy in the future if your budget is THAT tight) unfortunately

The 7950 is currently out of stock but it will give you good framerates in BF4 at high and ultra settings and is the best performer in its price range

Managed to squeeze a 7970 (which is basically what the 280x is) into this one

The disadvantage to this is the cheaper 760G chipset which throttles the CPUs so it's not really a good choice for overclocking
