2nd Hand computer.
apu amd a8-3870 3Ghz
corsair vengeance pc3-12800 ddr3 1600 4gb cl9 lp x2 (8, 2 gb)
tacens radix vi 750w
aerocool strike-x one advance usb 3. 0
seagate barracuda 7200. 14 1tb sata3
sapphire r9 270 2gb gddr5
For only 275€ (350$ i think :p)
It would be good idea to buy the pc and later change to fx 6300 apu?? My APU will affect fps playing? (example. BF4)?
What I have to keep in mind if I ever wanted to do xfire with another r9 270?

Hello,

Your motherboard is FM1 socket, so no CPU upgrade path. Also, what motherboard the system has? Because the motherboard must have at least 2x PCI-E x16 slots to support Crossfire.

The FX series is a CPU not an APU as it does not have integrated graphics, not that it matters when you are using a dedicated GPU. Anyway, changing from an A series to an FX series chip will require changing the motherboard too as they have different sockets. If you want to Xfire you'll want a decent 990FX or 990X motherboard and a better quality PSU as that PSU looks to be pretty dodgy.
