I have a amd 6100 six core processor which i dont know much about, and i just ordered a r9 290 4g GPU will it perform slower with my CPU?

if you get a good CPU cooler and overclock your CPU (assuming you have a good motherboard) it will perform just fine for most games. sure there are some games that do not perform well but bf4 is known not to perform well on lots of machines.

If you are playing allot of fps or mmo then CPU becomes more of an issue otherwise you should be fine

if he is playing on a 1080p screen he will not ever really use all of that r9 290 anyways. like i said earlier in mmo or twitch shooters with 40 people playing yes he will be limited but that is only a small segment of games when looking at all games.

he should be able to play all of the newest AAA games without much issue. might have to turn down some aa
