Good for gaming?

[MajorMC]

For my nephew as a gift. He plays the usual Battlefield C.O.D. Assassins Creed etc but he's not that knowledgeable about pc's yet, so no 4k gaming or anything that crazy for now.

If you have any suggestions,

USD$ - Budget $850(I'm already a little over)

Don't need OS keyboards/mice or monitor any of that.

Thinking I'll probly need to get a second 270x in the future with games like Assassin's Creed Unity coming out, but that's no problem.

 

Oh yeah almost forgot, I don't know much about these AMD CPU's, so my biggest concern is will it bottleneck a 270x?

Overall a good build, no that CPU will not be a bottleneck at all.
