I am thinking about building or buying a gaming pc for around 700-800 dollars (US) [NO SSD PLEASE]. I would like it to run battlefield 4 at around 40-60 fps on high, probably on a 1600x900 resolution monitor with minimal CPU overclocking so I don't get any bottlenecking. I just need the computer, as I will buy my peripherals and monitor some other time. I've been researching and I would like the msi r9 270x twin frozr, and in order to spend more on the graphics card, I think I will need to buy an AMD processor, I would only want the fx series, but not sure if the fx 6300 will cut it. PLEASE HELP!!! INEXPERIENCED!

EDIT : This would be better in your budget bracket : changed FX 6300 for FX 8320 with a slightly better card than R9 280X :
