Do you want a CPU or APU? Both are different. From my guess, you should be going for a CPU considering your gaming needs listed. For 270$, the good CPU at that range is i5-4670k priced around $230.
 

i'm guessing what you're really looking for is parts to build a new computer with processor, ram, motherboard, graphics card case, power supply etc., right?
if yes, fill up this form here

and get this thread moved to systems>newbuild section.

$270 is rather low.. actually it is so low that i'd advise waiting for kaveri apus instead of current richland ones. however, it's quite possible to build a pc at that price.
