So my friend is building his first computer and he's asked me about what I used since I just built one and we're probably going to wind up with similar builds.

He has an i3-4130 and wants suggestions on the best GPU he can get. I don't want him bottlenecked by the i3. I told him an r9-270/X would be the way to go since i have an i3-4150 with an asus 270. What do you guys think? Any nVidia solutions? He's not terribly worried about the cost but he has a limit.

We went with a r9-270x because it's about 80 dollars cheaper and I don't think a 760 is going to justify that price premium. We're both going to go upgrade to i5's in 5 months so it'll be a different story then.
