The R9 270x doesn't even belong in the conversation with the other two cards as it's much weaker. The GTX 970 is the best option if you can afford it. If not, the next choice on your list would be the 290 and the 270x would be the very last option for most gaming systems however with only having an i3 and in order to avoid bottlenecks, the 270x is probably the better choice for you.

What does it mean by " bottleneck"

Will the gtx 970 would be best to my configuration???

No, the GTX 970 would bottleneck the hell out of your CPU. So will the R9 290 most likely. I wouldn't use anything over a GTX 760 or R9 280 with your CPU if you want to avoid a bottleneck. Those bigger cards will work but will almost surely cause a bottleneck.
