    Nothing at all wrong with that build, All those parts are good for their price range :). Your not going to run newer games on high / ultra but you will be able to play them with a stable fps on lower settings.

    I don't know if your on a strict budget but..

    If I was you:
    -Id get a higher watt power supply for further upgrades.
    -Id go for the AMD FX-8320 or a AMD FX-8350 even. Even though the FX-6300 is a great cpu for the price it is starting to get a little dated.
    -And I would get another R9 270X down the line for crossfire. Then your rig would be pretty powerful :)

    Oh and if you are going to add another card down the line you better check if that board supports crossfire :)

    Edit: Some people have actually been having issues with that board dying a young death on them. Maybe like 1 in every 20. Something to consider :)
