Going to upgrade to R9-270X,3 Questions:
1. Will i3-3220 bottle neck R9-270X ?
2. PSU got One 6-Pin connector only, Require 2 so, for 2nd port i gonna use 6 to 4 pin molex converter cable, will it be efficient enough to give power for Years ahead, long run or not ?
3. Is it Worth buyin r9-270x for $180 i bought 7770HD for $95 only?

About PSU Power efficiency: it's gonn'a provide enough Watt needed, no issue.

That definitely will NOT handle the R9-270X. But the i3 will NOT bottleneck the R9-270X.
Price depends on where you live. But the 270X is much faster than the HD 7770: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1043?vs=1079
