I've decided to buy an AMD 8350, with Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard, Asus R9 270 graphics and 8gb of Corsair ram. Is there something wrong with this setup? Can I run nowadays game smoothly? I didn't go for 270X because a 270 (overclocked) can perform better 270x (not overclock). I just wanted to know if the setup is okay and didn't bottleneck any component.
 
Solution
The R9 270 is not very powerful and will not be able to max out most modern games @1080p with 60fps.
I recommend getting the FX-6300 or FX-8320 instead and using the money towards a better GPU, like the R9 280(x).
