Hello. I want to upgrade my old R9 270. I just found out an offer here in my country for the rx 560.Is it better than my r9 270? I mostly play Star Wars Battlefront 1 and more recently Black Desert online, where it keeps my gpu at 99% all the time,my CPU at 50% on LOW settings, with only ~40 fps.
I have an I3 4160 3.6 ghz CPU and 8GB ddr3 RAM.

A 270 is a slightly faster and renamed HD 7850. As such, it's right around an RX 460 in performance. The 560, the model with all the stream processors unlocked, is slightly faster than a 460. All of this is to say no, I don't think that's a worthwhile upgrade.

You really need to go to at least HD 7970 level of peformance for it to feel like an upgrade. On the AMD side this is the 7970, 280x, 380x. On the Nvidia side this would be a GTX 770, 960, or 1050 Ti. Keep in mind the older cards use more power.

Cards like the RX 560 and GTX 1050 are entry level, about what you have now.

So it is better than r9 270,but not better enough )) I always thought 960 was weaker )
