I have an AMD A8 7650k @3.8 ghz and an R9 270. My power supply is a gigabyte 550w.
These are my options when buying a graphics card:
R9 390 $239
RX 480 $349
RX 470 $309

I would like to know which one would be a great choice for me, keeping performance and cost in mind.

Which of these cards would bottle neck the CPU the most?

I would be willing to put the cpu at stock settings if it means that I would not have to buy a new PSU.

I would like to run GTA V at high settings with 60 FPS, Overwatch at Ultra Settings with 60 FPS, CSGO with Max settings at 60 FPS.

Both would be fine, you still might have to O.C the CPU though maybe keep it around 4.3-4.5ghz. Your PSU should be good enough to handle that.

Forgot to mention the currency... It is in AUD :D So the R9 390 is out of the question?
