Hey buddy,
270X for sure, and yeah the CPU will bottleneck it slightly in CPU intensive games, but you can always upgrade that later on. :)

Why not the 660 Ti?
Is the Phenom gonna bottleneck it or is there another specific reason?

Cause the 270X performs nearly as well as the GTX 760, and better than the 660ti. :) 
And yeah, the Phenom will bottleneck it in a lot of cases, but when you can afford to buy a new CPU and mobo you'll get the most out of the GPU.

I'm not planning on upgrading my CPU and other stuff for about two years,since I have $0.00 right now. :p 
Can I get a R9 270 and OC it?
My mobo is an ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0. :)

You sure can. CPU might hold you back a little, but you'll still get better performance with the 270X than you will with any other card. :)
