Hi,
For my new build, I'll be going with the G3258. I am stuck between several choices for the GPU:
750 Ti
760
270
270X
280
I would like to know if there will be a bottleneck if I used either of these cards with the G3258.

Thanks in advance!

Of course you will, that processor is very low end.

Not even with the 280?

depends on how cpu intensive what you are doing is.

I'll be overclocking the CPU to around 4 GHz.
I'm looking to play Minecraft, Watch_Dogs and the occasional FPS. Which GPU in the list in my first post would be the best?

Thanks in advance!

The G3258 is a overclocking beast. You wont get any bottlenecks.

I really like the G3258 as a budget cpu for gaming.
There will always be a "bottleneck" I would prefer the term "limiting factor".
With a G3258 and a fair overclock, you can run many games very well.
There might be a few that really do need more than 2 cores, but those that don't will perform as well as a cpu 4 times more expensive.

Any of the cards will be a good pick.
If you have the funds and your psu supports it, but the strongest card your budget will allow.
Stronger cards give you higher FPS or more eye candy.

What card would be the strongest for Minecraft, Watch_Dogs and the occasional FPS (probably the 760 or the 280)?

Absolutely on the 280, possibly the 270/270x
