And I need suggestions on what the best GPU for a G3258

Are you overclocking your Pentium G3258? If yes, it shouldn't bottleneck a R9 270X.
What is the rest of the build?

Hey

you look a bit enthusiastic about gaming,so Im gonna tell you this:
This cpu is a pentium with 2 cores, it will bottlenech most high-end gaming graphics cards used for smooth 60fps 1080p Ulta resolution gaming

BUT:
it is haswell based, its not that bad as older pentiums, if you already own it, its limit is somewhere between the R9 270x you mentioned and the R9 280
If you dont own it and have the money, buy an i5-4460 with 4 cores instead
If you dont have the money buy an amd FX-4350.

haroldragaofficial :

Ditch Corsair CX series psu, there are not good for overclocking builds.
Look for an EVGA 600B or XFX 550W.
