No point pairing up a powerful GPU with an APU. Get an AM3+ one instead as the onboard GPU won't be used at all.

any of those cards would work, it depends on your budget / how much gpu power you need for your games.

270X, but better to use a non APU CPU as pairing with one of those cards is not worth it.

You can, if you've enough for the 270X that will work but the CPU will hold it up a bit, if the 260X is a lot cheaper maybe go with that if you don't intend to upgrade the rest of the system for a while.
