Yes you can. I have a 3570k with an HD 7970 which is faster than a 270x. Question is why are you going 3570k instead of 4670k? What is your budget? Do you intend to overclock? What parts do you need?
can i pair an intel i5-3570k with Sapphire R9 270x Toxic 2GB GDDR5 ? will there be a bottlenecking on this build ?
The 3570k can handle any video card out there, so you have nothing to worry about there. But like logainofhades said, you should go for the 4670k with a z87 motherboard instead. Newer generation and I would think pretty similar pricing.

i was wondering if it's even worth ocing the i5-3570k to 4.5 ghz?
