I'm going to be building my first rig and i need some info on what processor/motherboard i should go with, i'm buying the sapphire radeon R9 270x GPU and haven't decided on which CPU/Motherboard combo to get, i will have about 300 or so for the cpu and motherboard.

Go to a Intel i5 4590 and MSI z97 gaming 5 motherboard it will go with R9 270x

if you have money to spend with this processor/motherboard go to Sapphire R9 280x vapor x card
it is a high end GPU can last for a long time gaming

The FX6300 is the best bang for the buck and enough for the 270X. As for the motherboard, the best choice might be the Asrock 970 pro/extreme 3 r2.0. But all the asrock boards, the msi gaming board, the msi gd65 and gd80 and all the asus boards are good.

Or this is a solid option: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/csQt7P
And even money left for a cooler.

Even better might be the intel route: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hcRKK8

For half the price youre settled too with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/J3jgwP
