Hi I am very interested in upgrading my current PC so that it has the specs to be able to play many of the larger game titles.

I am on a budget but also want to achieve a decent amount of performance (i.e. high settings).

Would I be able to achieve this performance if I were to go ahead with buying these components for my PC:
ASUS AMD Radeon R9 270X
Intel i5-3570
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB(2x4)

I have already done some research and compatibility and these seem to be compatible with my existing components and whilst they do not provide the top performance I am more concerned with a good frame rate and their ability to provide above the average visuals

The parts you have chosen are good for what you want to achieve, but to help you further i would like to know the rest of the specs of your current computer. Regarding the information you have given, i can recommend these 3 items instead of the above while keeping the performance about the same and lowering the price by a significant amount.

Instead of the Asus AMD radeon R9 270X, i suggest the r9 270 (any, preferably sapphire dual-x) which you can over-clock with any of the helpful guides on the internet and on tomshardware forum to outperform the r9 270x.

Instead of the i5-3570 i recommend the i5-3330 which you can slightly overclock to match the i5-3570 :)

For the RAM, go for the cheapest 8GB you can find, its all the same.

This will bring down the cost by a minimum of $70
