I am trying to build a cheap pc that will be able to run battlefield 4 on medium to low settings. I'm thinking of amd just because of price but I don't really know what cpu would be best. I was maybe thinking of the FX-8320 but i'm not sure. I would like it to be as low budget as possible.
 
I can't fit fx6300 with r9 270x with $500, it is likely to be 600

You would probably closer to $500 with athlon 760k with a88x mobo, 8gb ram, r9 270

Personally on this occasion I'd either downgrade the GPU to an R7 260X so that he can get the FX-6300, or I'd get an FX-4300 to stay on AM3+.

Put it this way - it is easier and cheaper to upgrade your graphics card and your CPU than it is to replace your motherboard when you decide you want to upgrade to AM3+ (which you probably would at some point if you went with the Athlon).

I do everything I can to stay away from FM2 and stick with AM3+.

Or may be intel G3258 + Asus mobo? This will be a lot better in terms of upgrade pathway.
However, BF4 recommend quad core.
 
You could even try and get an i3 and a relatively cheap board. Might even be able to afford a 270X that way.
