Not necessarily. The R9-270X is much weaker than a GTX 760. The R9-270X is weaker than a Radeon HD 7950 but the GTX 760 is stronger than the 7950. Also, you chose the LE version of the motherboard so you won't be able to overclock the 8320 very good, if it all.

I'm not sure how much of a performance increase Mantle will provide as it is still not released yet, so that is still unknown. Nonetheless, the GTX 760 is stronger than the R9-270X.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2vSQs - Without the OS

[strike]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2vT0J - With OS[/strike]

[strike]Sorry for going $40 over your budget with the OS, I wanted to make sure you got amazing performance for the price. I'm sure you can play BF4 on this thing with pretty good settings(high, maybe even ultra). If you want me to make it 40 dollars less I can but the performance will not be as good.[/strike]
Had fun choosing parts for you :)
Good luck, and if you need some tips or maybe if you have a question, just ask.

EDIT: Didn't know you didn't want the OS. Well the first one is really good and will give you awesome performance on games like BF4 on High - Ultra settings.

No...he doesn't

"I have no need for a disk drive (even if I decided I really needed one for some reason I have a decent one from a 2 year old pc I can use)."

-Better quality cpu cooler and motherboard for overclocking.
-Faster HDD as you don't want a 5400rpm for your primary drive.

Oh sorry, read it wrong. But he does need one for the OS install. After that probably not if you are gonna play games through digital download.
