Is it possible to run bf4 on ultra with this system

Should be fine, but if you can stretch to a 280x 3gb it is well worth it for future gaming and consistent FPS in BF4 (on ultra)

that depends on the resolution.
the cpu fx 6300 is a nice cpu able to handle gtx 780 ti so there shouldn't be to much a problem.
r9 270x is an tweaked version of hd 7870 ghz (3-5% better) so as I mentioned it depends on the resolution.
at 1080p it should be able to handle bf 4 at high for 50fps+ and ultra 30fps+ so if that's k yes it can.
do you already own the card?

couldnt find any actual benches but here a link that says it chieves med settings at 1080p

yes it can, even an underclocked 7870 can run BF4 @ max. with a sweetspot 40 fps@1080p

if you get a cooler master hyper 212 evo you can oc the cpu to 4.2ghz and r9 270x is as well oc friendly gpu which will improve the performance. don't expect steady 60 fps (not even 770 does that).
if you don't own the card already take a look at gtx 760 (good performance for money) and sli friendly later.
as for r9 280x it depends where he lives. some places lost the card while others sell it tooooooooooo expensive.
given he asked about r9 270x I guess his budget is around gtx 760 if he doesn't already own that 270x.

bonie you posted a link which leads to mobile graphics benchmarks O_O.
and the fps depend on the map / texture and shaders quality.
there will be parts of the map where he will get 70fps and places with 20-40fps.

Yes you raise a very good point. I managed to get an Asus R9 280x very early on. I'm based in the UK and prices have gone up by around £30, so i'm not sure if any other cards would be better value right now.

I won't pay more for an gtx 770 if it costs more than 310€ never.
while where I live they try to sell r9 280x wf3 for 270€ but no one buys I see other countries skyrocketing the price of 280x.. ............
like I said given he mentioned r9 270x he either owns it or that's his budget. if he could stretch to gtx 760 that would be a good buy. (depending on country as well. here gtx 760 costs like 260€ NO TY that's ridiculous.)

here are a link to some benches same as before so you cna see how it performs
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/R9_280X_OC/14.html
it would probably be able to get high at good fps

i found the right benches phew lol
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/97796-r9-280x-for-bf4/

retract previous statement it looks like it does avhieve ultra

if you can get it only for 100$ more which means 330$ that's a huge deal yes go for it.
r9 280x is a gpu able to take strikes with gtx 770.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r7_260x_r9_270x_280x_review_benchmarks,18.html

from my experience the 280x is worth it but now depends how much it costs there? 100$ more sounds good but what's the price you get 270x for?

then if you can afford an fx 8320 it sounds better for a few games which can utilize 8 cores and helps a bit being faster in editing and rendering if you care about that.
if is only for gaming then fx 6300 is a super choice

just make sure you puke the rainbows back at the monitor so it can find its way to the internet where it belongs, lol
and i didnt think it would pull off ultra but it is a rbranded 1st gen 7970 after all so i can understand

then why not go i5 4670k + asrock z87 fatality if is only gaming. it performs better. that if you don't own amd mainboard already.

good amd mainboard: asrock 970 extreme 4
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0

good intel mainboard: msi z87-g45
asrock z87 extreme 4
asrock z87 fatality
asus z87 - c2
asus z87 - pro

only some info.
amd is a darn good cpu but 8350 (just factory oced 8320) is worth it more if you do some editing, sculpting, 3d rendering as well.
in worst case scenarios I would go fx 8320 (darn good) + r9 280x and if worse fx 6300 and gtx 760.
don't forget cpu cooler. cheap king is hyper 212 evo cooler master which cools damn good up to 4.5ghz. intel and amd integrated crapooler are just crapooler.

and if you don't own psu (main powering unit) don't choose any rubbish. recommend only 2b or higher.

seasonic s12II/m12II , xfx black and pro editions, antec high current gamer are damn solid.
for one gpu quality psu 520-550-620w is enough
for sli option 700w+ quality should do perfectly.

how much does gtx 770 cost there?

k you said from scratch right.
here 3 possibilities:
took me a bit so I might have missed a little post ^^
for keyboard trust gxt 280 looks quite cute ^^
