What resolution? Everything maxed out? If it's over 1080p, then no. If it's 1080p, it will run most current games not at max settings, though. Anyway as said above, the FX 6300 is probably one of the best bang for the buck gaming CPUs. You'll have to spend on the GPU to see a real world improvement.

From my experience, yes. I don't know why the other two gentlemen suggested a GPU upgrade. The R9 series is far from being anything close to outdated. Being the line-up (depending on the edition) is no more than a year old at best. I have a R9 270 DD Edition and it runs Skyrim at max settings, well over 80fps on my extremely outdated Athlon processor. With resolution mods. Yep, I said it, and I have screen caps for proof on my steam account. If you wiki the R9 series, you will see in the description that your particular card is considered a high-end GPU for this particular family of Radeon cards. I'm only telling you, so you avoid spending money you don't need to when you already have a banging graphics card.

This FX-6300 is in my cross-hairs for my PC this week, with a new ASUS motherboard, (I blame Battlefront) and I can tell you from personal experience, that if I can play two to three year old titles on this PC on maximum settings, with a dinosaur of a dual-core overclocked to 3.0ghz, then the FX coupled with your R9 270x will perform just fine my friend.

He actually has a good card that's not even a year old yet. So his card is definitely not the problem. I have a different variation of the same model, (the Double Dissipation Edition) and it runs like butter, even on my ancient processor.

I want to correct the other answer here. Only cause I personally use a FX-6300 with 16GB RAM with a XFX Radeon R9 270 DD edition GPU. He's right that you can run all games at 1080p fine. Where he's wrong is YOU CAN play games at high to max or Ultra settings. I can run Battlefront on high, while recording in OBS, with VSYNC off. I play SWTOR and FF XIV on maxed settings with light fps drops during high raids and battles from 60-39 fps at worst.

So to answer your question, yes it will work just fine. But being it is 2017 now, you may want a slightly newer Radeon card. I'm debating either Crossfiring mine, or getting two new cards to Crossfire. The R9 270 can still hold it's own, if you are looking for a good budget build.
