It will not matter which one you decide to go for because your CPU will be your true bottleneck.

Yes. I would expect a bottom neck of either card. Either fx processor or i3 3rd Gen at least.

I would also chose the FX-6300 and for the motherboard is best to go with Asus they ofer the best,i have FX-8320 and Asus M5A99X EVO R 2.0 mobo ,they are great.

Something that can run battlefield 4 at a decent fps or something where I won't need to upgrade for a while

You will get stable 60 FPS with R7 260x on medium settings vsync 1080p without antialiasing , i have stable 60 FPS on R9 270X ultra high textures an the other high without antialiasing. The 260X has Mantle for Battlefield and True Audio.

How bad would the bottleneck be if I got the r9 270x?

The place it will really hurt is minimum fps it will get brutal in the future.

Im a big supporter of buying the best card you can as you have a quad core you should be ok on games that aren't using more cores. Games like bf4 or cysis 3 need the more cores. But they are the exception. What kind of budget do you have.

Because yes it will get bottlenecks but in the future when you upgrade cpu it will be great and it gives you the best you can do now and prices are reasonable for cards in the UK compared to the states Damn.

Was just thinking since you have fm 2+ maybe you could get a a10-7850k and run it in dual mode with your hd7770
