building a pc for the first time and i want it to last a while, will the m5a97 handle an fx8320 and a r9 270x? also, should i get more than 8gb ram?

Yes it will, and no 8GB is plenty for gaming!
If you want use RAM intensive programs then 16GB would be better!

This motherboard can easily handle this components.
8GB ram is enough but make sure that ram is running at 1600MHz and it should be dual channel.
