I know these questions probably get asked a lot but I am really confused right now. I am brand new to building PCs and wanting to build a gaming pc which will be able to run, BF4, Planetside2 and DayZ etc.

The GPU I am going to get is the R9 270X

Which would be the better CPU overall? I want to be able to run the games without any issues.

Thanks.

Quite possible. Certain games tend to favor AMD or Intel, and I've heard that Planetside 2 is more CPU intensive than most games. An overclocked 8320 would most likely do alright, but not as good as say an overclocked i5-4670k or an i7-4770k.

Even if it doesn't perform as good as some intel cpu's out there do you think it still would perform to a good standard?
 
I've heard that after some patches they perform completely fine, though they still lack a little single-threaded performance compared to the intels for some games. It will be perfectly playable - it was even playable on my old bulldozer FX 6200 before the patches.
