Here's the link to the system I am trying to build - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sukhbir4200/saved/4jaO
My budget is limited to just 600$.

I am currently using Phenom II X4 955 BE processor with 760G based motherboard with integrated graphics.

Is there any motherboard that can allow me to use my currrent Phenom II 955 processor with Radeon R9 270X video card without any bottlenecks?

I have got two reasons to do this -
First I am trying to cut the cost of buying a new processor, so that I can go for better card like GTX760 and second Athlon X4 760K do not have L3 cache unlike my current Phenom one. And L3 cache can easily make a difference of 10-20% in gaming performance.

So guys please give me some advice to solve my dilemma. What are my options?
And thanks in advance.

athlon x4 460k is not really a good upgrade over the phenom x4. stick with the phenom x4.
