1.AMD Athlon X4 750K
2. Asus F2A85-V Pro AM2
3. Asus / Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5
Kingston HyperX 8GB (4x2) DDR3
1TB Western Digital Black
EVGA 500W PSU
Corsair Carbide 300R Windowed
LG G24NS95 DVD/CD writer
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

MicroATX mobo can still fit in a mid tower case. There's no reason why not, if the budget fits.

FM2 on a FM2+ mobo, its one of the cheaper motherboards with a decent layout to give you a decent overclocking option in the future. There's nothing wrong with putting a FM2 into FM2+ if it fits the socket. It's like throwing a Phenom II X4 965 BE into a 990FX motherboard.

If it works, then it works.

I'm on Phenom II X4 965, which is pretty much the same chip as the 750K.

I hit 45 on a mix of Ultra and Low settings with an old 6850 @ 1080p.

With a 270X I'm capped at 60, hardly maintaining that in some scenes. Again no AA @ 1080p

This is just basically what's up there, but some parts are modified to try and fit a better gpu in:

Overclocking the r9 270 to r9 270x speeds and you have a r9 270x practically.
