Will this setup record Minecraft at 60+ FPS? And also, when SWBF3 comes out in summer 2015, will it be able to play that at a 1600x900 resolution? SWBF3 runs on the Frostbite 3 engine, same one as BattleField 4. If anyone could come up with a build with all the peripherals included in the part list, that would be great. Thanks in advance! ;)

Why an APU? I think his current mobo is fine too because he can't overclock it without an aftermarket and also the HDD is 5900 which is slower than the 7200rpm and isn't worth it

Remember that Nvidia cards can't run SLI or Crossfire in any way, so an APU and a GTX 650 will not use dual graphics.
EDIT: oops, meant Nvidia cards can't run in SLI with APU's but with other GPU's they can ofc.

So do you think this will run BF4? I will not be playing BF4 but it has the same engine as the game I mentioned above.
Thanks!

There is a budget, why do you think I could run a 270 and an FX-6300 with a 400$ budget?

Just saying, and I won't be running it at 1080p anyways, I will be running at 1600x900, as I already have the monitor.

See, thing is, is that the athlon 760k is basically the same CPU as you stated, but with all processing power and no integrated GPU. The r7 260x is much better, as it is about the same price as the APU + 2000 mhz ram and the CPU. And I want this to be as futureproof in this price range as possible. But thanks for all the help though! Much appreciated ;)
