Hi, this is my first computer build ever and I was wondering if it would be able to run games, like battlefield 4, on ultra. Also, does anyone know how I could make it cheaper without losing too much proformance? I am going to add windows 8 and I was trying to keep it below $600. Plus, if later on in my life, I want to add another gpu for crossfire, will this machine be able to handle it? Would the cpu bottleneck them? will I have enough power? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We would need to see the build, but off the top of my head Crossfire 270's require a 600w PSU. 270 is a great choice as it's the same as the 270X but with lower clockspeeds which can be bumped up with software.

If you're looking for cheap, legit Windows installs then check out reddit.com/r/softwareswap

They always have cheap $20-30 legitimate keys for sale like this one http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap/comments/25gpag/h_windows_81_pro_w_paypal/

Another thing you may want to consider, for the price of the Radeon 270 you could get a significantly more power Radeon 7950 used from eBay like this one for $140 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-7950-100352-3L-3-GB-GDDR5-/231230950431?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item35d6704c1f
