This is going to be my first build and I was wondering if the AMD FX 6350 and the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X will work on the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0, and also if they will be a good combination for a gaming pc.

no, they will no be a good combination for a gaming pc. They will have a very high power consumption for the performance they give (low efficiency),

for less than 40$ you can get a much better system:
