Hey guys, I will be getting this PC in like 2-3 months so is this good enough for gaming? Also, after getting that PC and having it for a few months, I might upgrade the RAM to 8 GB and Crossfire the Dual X R9 270x by adding another Dual X R9 270x.

FX - 6300
ATI/AMD R9 270x Dual-X with OC boost 2 GB DDR5
Corsair XMS3 4 GB RAM
Motherboard - ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Seasonic Eco 600 Watts PSU

So I am guessing that I don't need a Cooling Fan if I am not overclocking that system? Also I live in India so it can get pretty hot there..

Well, I already blew my budget so I assembled only that o.o

I will see about the cooling fan part..

It's not really worth it to crossfire.. plus you'd need a bigger power supply if you were to do that.

I would suggest that you get 8GB of ram, it really does make a difference. I have corsair vengeance ram and I've had no trouble with it for a year so far. And no, a stock fan should be fine if you're not overclocking your system. A door fan might help, though.​

anything with AMD bad idea try intel! use i7 4000i core
geforce GT 500i 3GB(good gaming)
if the above are fine all you need is a 4 GB ram or 6 maybe!
with those above mentioned you definitely need a fan and a power supply that could tank them!

That's not true. AMD is cost efficient and it still gets the job done. If OP is on a budget, I'd definitely recommend an ATI/AMD set up.

8 gb RAM is best

It depends on what you're playing. Blizzard games (World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, etc.) run better on Nvidia cards. Other games, not so much.​

AMD is way better than nVidia.. It is is pretty cheap and performs pretty well. Better to choose AMD if in tight budget.

Can I crossfire that Dual X R9 270x 2 GB DDR5 with a 750w PSU? Also if I get 60 FPS in BF 4 Ultra without the crossfire, how much more fps would I gain by crossfiring?

Pretty good actually.

That 4GB RAM though Lol. Quite many people gaming don't use 4GB anymore. RAM is just very cheap anyway. But currently 4GB is still enough though for the most part except that if you multitask a lot.

You can try this calculator:

Or you can go to Tom's Hardware forum and asks the pros there.

that's pretty good, in pk, a singular ram kingston ddr2 even ddr3 sd costs 1500 rupees at most, so yeah, they're not that expensive anymore, not sure about india, but yeah i'd look to upgrade the ram. otherwise everything else is just great. FX 6300 is really good IMO, i have a friend who just likes to complain over it, but it's good.

you should get a cooling fan, in hot countries it's a must, it's dependent on room temp as well, in the summer, it can get insanely hot there.

8gb of ram is best just to be safe, its a relatively cheap upgrade compared to CPU and Graphics cards and that extra 4gb will make a difference.

A stock cooling fan would still be nice, even though there is no overclocking. Again, just to be safe.
