Not a huge difference, but with games that use Mantle, the 270X might pull away from the 660

I'm scared of OCing....Is it really easy as they say? I may harm my system..

Quite easy. You'd have to be very, very foolish to harm your system

Is there big difference between them?

For some perspective:

660 < 7850 < 7870/270/270x

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-GeForce-GTX-660

The 270x is also a better oc'er.

What about the i5-3570K? If I get that I can get a 212 evo cooler too..

It's worth going haswell over Ivy for the better motherboards alone.

For gaming, it's quite worse than what I recommended.

Just compare benchmarks for the 770 and 270x.
