That CPU will cause bottleneck in some games if use higher end GPUs.

With the Pentium G3258 you're limited to R7 260X or GTX 750, maybe a bit more if you manage to do OC.

R9-290 3GB 15% off w/ promo code RMNEXSAVE15

But that would probably bottleneck with your processor. You'd be better suited to something slightly cheaper that'll get the same performance when maxed with your cpu that can OC to like 4.0

R9-270X 4GB

Only go 4GB if you'd plan on going crossfire with an additional card/Processor update in the future though

Buy R9 285, then another later when you save some money, then you will have a serious graphical power under your command!

This's also a good idea.

You already have a good platform, you can upgrade your CPU later.

You can go with a 295x2 if you want, just keep in mind the Pentium even when OCed will cause bottlenecks with high end GPUs.

R9 280X or the GTX 770 are the strongest cards that you will be able to run even with maximum overclock. Anything more is just not worth it.

That card is a bit loud when idle, but somewhat more quiet when under load. If you're okay with that then go for it.
