First time building a Gaming PC

Corkyballz

Hi. I am looking to build my first gaming pc but don't want to be spending mad money. I found a youtube video with the following components

-PSU:EVGA 500W,White,3Yrs Wnt
-HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 1000GB, SATA 6Gb/s
-CPU: AMD FX-6300 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+
-MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970-UD3P, AMD 970, AM3+, ATX
-RAM: 8GB-Kit Crucial Ballistix Sport Series DDR3-1600, CL9
-GPU:Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X OC Boost Lite Retail mit MANTLE und Gaming Evolved Client, 2GBDDR5
-CASE:BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - schwarz Window

I priced them on hardwareversand.de and the price comes to about €530.
I think this is a reasonable enough price and and I've seen a demo of the gaming performance of battlefield 4 with these parts in the youtube video. I just want to know if I can get any more value or make the build better without going too much over budget.
Thanks for any help

What is your end budget?

I would be ok with around 560-570

I'd go with a GTX 760 over a R9 270X if it was me. It's an "old" card now as the 900 series GTX are out (970 and 980) now, but it still beats the 270X in most cases.

I always buy from Amazon warehouse very good or like new condition. Look up sapphire amd 290 on Amazon. Can buy used for good price.

I would have to spend more on a more Powerful PSU to accommodate the wattage, whice would put me way over budget with the that GPU

True but you'll get the r9 280 for 180 euro roughly on Amazon. The sapphire brand.

Thanks for the advice. It comes to 195 after shipping. I found the Asus GTX 760 on hardwareversand for an extra 15 euro. is that worth it?

After checking HWVS today the Mobo:Gigabyte GA-970-UD3P, AMD 970, AM3+, ATX is reading delivery date unknown and i dont want to order something that wont come for a while, i was going to substitute it for MSI 970A-G43, AMD Sockel AM3+, ATX, DDR3. Can someone let me know if this is a compatible swap. From what i can tell it is ok, but then again not an expert
