My system specifications:
ASUS vs248h 1080p monitor
AMD r9 270x Sapphire Toxic
FX-8320 4Ghz( h90 cooler)
8GB Gskill 1600mhz RAM
**Gigabyte 970a-UD3P motherboard ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4717#ov )
**600W 80+ Xigmatek Power Sup.

My friend will sell his 6 months old 260x to buy gtx760. I said him don't sell it i can use for crossfire. I want to play my games at locked 60fps.Can I make crossfire 270x + 260x on my system ? ( I know 270x + 270x logical but i will not pay any money for this. So i think its very logical :) )

If it will not work, can i go with r9 270x + r9 270 crossfire ?
 
Solution
Buy a 270x if you want to crossfire. A 270 would work but would perform worse (Your 270x will actually cut it's performance to 270 levels for crossfire).

As above, a 260x is not the same core so it will not work.
