Hi everyone, I'm from colombia .
I made this PC a year ago mainly for gaming purposes but bcause i havent a enough money i decided to buy this. Here's the parts list:

M-atx MSI 760 Gm P23
AMD athlon X2 270 overclocked to 3.9
AMD radeon HD 6670
6 GB ram 4 GB ram corsair 2gb Kingston
500 GB HDD
550 W generic PSU

So now I'm planning to upgrade this PC but I was checking around this and other forums and seems there's no path for upgrade with this components, I want to upgrade my graphics card to an r9 270x but I'm afraid to Bootle neck it with the CPU and Mobo combo that Im currently using, so what do u think guys is there any improvement possible to this setup? I would like to use the r9 270 x and a AMD fx 6300 can this MoBo handle it? Do I need a PSU upgrade too?
Final question is there any good AMD MoBo am3+ m-atx under $100 option maybe sata 3 or pcie 3?

Thanks
