You may get a slight bottleneck but this depends allot on the type of game
Don't get that psu, its low quality
Go with this one

The GTX 660 and R9 270X are in the same tier.
Nvidia cards typically run cooler, quieter, and draw less power. All things to consider. I've not owned an AMD based card for a while, but when I did, I always fought with it. Drivers etc... It was a headache. Since going to Nvidia, I couldn't be happier. But your mileage may vary. Myself I'd go GTX 660 all day over a R9 270X.
I've used both, and generally have a far more positive experience with Nvidia.

They may be in the same tier but that hierarchy chart is too generalised.
When you actually compare a GTX 660 and a R9 270X, the R9 270X will be faster. The R9 270x and the GTX 660 Ti is similarly in terms of performance.
Drivers issues can happen on both sides. Since everyone has different pc configurations, you may or may not experience drivers issues.

Go with the Sapphire 270X. It beats the 660 in almost every game and is cheaper
It also has mantle which should help your cpu out in games like bf4

Bottleneck means that the CPU will hold back the performance of the GPU. The maximum performance of the GPU will not be utilized.

I heard that it has some driver problems and installation problems.... I hope that's not the case right? tbh i cannot have a say in this. I personally prefer Nvidia. The games that i play are coincidentally Nvidia optimized like Arkham City,Borderlands 2,etc. I don't play Battlefield because my ISP sucks and it is coincidentally AMD optimized.

just checked out a local store, he says that,"you cannot get an MSI brand here". he's offering me an Asus r9 270 at 14k INR. So what do you say?

From flipkart u need to check whether the seller delivers to your location.
The issue with AMD cards is not about optimisation. There are issues like these:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2089881/sapphire...
That PSU is of Indian Seasonic quality and not original Seasonic quality.
