These are specs for budget AMD gaming PC that I want to build

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
RAM: Kingston HyperX (2x4) 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM
Power Supply: Corsair CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Please suggest if there are any weaknesses or bottlenecks in this build. And can this build give 60+ fps in all 2013/2014 games at maxxed out settings without frequent lags?

No bottlenecks, they rarely happen now. Performance-wise it should get you Avg ~60fps on BF4. I have the same CPU and GPU. It does drop below 60fps occasionally but I dont really notice it. I'm not sure about many other games since I play things like CS:GO which are nowhere near as demanding as BF4. I dont 100% think it'll max out new games but it should for most

But since BF4 is such a big game used all the time for testing rigs if it can perform in that game then it should performs well in others.

I forgot to add this but my motherboard is ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3. Yes I will be overclocking the FX to 4.5GHz to reduce if not eliminate any bottlenecks.

I would get a core i7 4820k and Z97 chipset, IF and only if money wasn't an issue. Sadly it is and this build is the best that I was able to come up with. If I go with a processor that is costlier then I will have to sacrifice on the GPU performace. :(

Yes you're right, it doesn't have heatsinks on the mosfets. I will be oc'ing it to 4.2 GHz then. Hoping it will be able to run my R9 280 without any hiccups.
