My Pc has intel core i3 530@ 2.93 Ghz
i have narrowed my choice to Gtx 760 and R9 270X
I want no bottlenecking i know my processor is bad
or should i stick to gtx 660 super clocked

Please give me detailed answers as i am new in all these things
 
Solution
The 760 is technically better, but you won't go wrong either way. If you plan on playing BF4 more, the 270x may be better, as it will be able to take advantage of Mantle.

I have a 760, and it's a beast. I can max out pretty much any game right now.

Assuming you have a good CPU cooler, then you can look at this guide to overclocking your I3. You should get 4Ghz which will help avoid any bottlenecks, and you could get the gtx 760.

Might see CPU bottlenecking with the i3 530 at stock clock speed, although as I said, these can be overclocked by a lot to help with that.

I have a 760 and I had a R9 270x up until two weeks ago.

I do love my 760 and I do not regret to have sold my Sapphire not even for a second, I prefer the clarity of picture with the 760 and it is INCREDIBLY QUIETER AND COOLER than the Sapphire!

Mine is a MSI and it is my first MSI and my first Nvidia Card....couldn't be happier!
