hello everyone :D

i have an i5 3330 and i only have 250$ to spend on my PC so i'm planning to get the rx 480, i might stretch it a bit and get the 1060.

the problem is i can't spend more than that and i have that crappy gtx 560 which is no good anymore.

could you guys tell me if i'm gonna bottleneck on this cpu, i mean if it's only some minor bottle necking. then i'll go for it.

No, you should be fine. It's not top-tier, but at 2nd-tier it runs neck-and-neck with the AMD chips (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html), so you should have no problem with it.

If you can find a GTX 1060 for $250 USD, then go for it, as it has slightly better performance than the RX 480. But since chances are it'll be more than that, just get the RX 480 if it's in stock.

there wont be much bottleneck with this setup its pretty balanced CPU to GPU kind of power, you may experiences the biggest bottleneck in games like GTA V and Assassins creed games as they use all 4 cores of your computer but this wont stop you from getting good FPS on these games. I would defiantly say go for it the fps increase you will see will be massive.
