Im doing a budget build, and I was wondering if I should get a GTX 760. But, I was worried it would be bottlenecked by an Athlon II X4 750k, help!

That GPU and cpu will not max any of those. You would be looking at an overclocked i5 4670k or i7 4770k for BF4, a bit less for the others. Crysis 3 on high would eat the 270x though, you would need more like the 280x or GTX 770.
Overall, to play these games on high you need a beast of a system.

I'm planning to overclock, or buy an x4 760k and then overclock that. . I'm gonna be playing Crysis 3 on high settings, and BF4 on high settings. And Bioshock Infinite on Ultra.

Yes I slightly over clocked. My CPU is running around 3.7 GHz GPU turned the speed up to 844. I haven't updated to the newest beta mantle drive they released. But if you wanna see a similar build that I'm using with some slight differences check out Austin evans $600 budget build 2013. I used a different memory but this will ballpark where you might be for graphic settings. What you wanna use is it to you but I haven't seen a bottleneck personally.

I'm not providing links I'm hurting right now just gonna type the quick version. Sorry for my attitude but its one of those days.
CPU amd athlon x4 750k
Mobo MSI fm2 -A75MA-E35
GPU XFX black edition R9-270x 2gb on best buy for quick look.
Stick memory Kingston hyperx blue 4gb 1600Mhz
HDD Western digital blue 1tb
SSD Evo 840 250 GB for games and os
PSU corsair CX 500
OS windows 8.1 64 bit
3 corsair fans in the case also
Stock CPU fan with all this I stay under 45 C running bf4 I hit 42C. I'm new to building a PC but I did a butt load of research for this build. Not a expert but this does run most games at high or ultra no issues lag of Nada. Also if ya want check out the video I mentioned with Austin Evan he has the same build slight differences. Then you can make your call on bs or not.

Yeah but instead of that I would use the nocturna one its ugly but better from what I've seen. And yeah I could oc it to 4.GHz but personally I'm fine with the setup. But if this answered your question make sure to click solved. If ya have any other questions just lemme know.
