Okay, So as the Title Suggested I am at a Crossroad and am a bit Lost.
I am Preparing to buy a New GPU(Rx 480) but, after some research I have discovered that My Current CPU(FX-6300) will cause a bottleneck.

I am unsure whether to one, Buy a Aftermarket cooler and overclock my Current CPU(FX-6300) two, Buy a newer CPU either a FX-8350 or 8370 or three, Just Buy The Rx 480 anyway because the bottleneck is insignificant.

So my question is what is the Best approach?
 
Solution
Get the 480 and see how it goes, if it bottlenecks more than you want, get a decent cooler (one that you can use also with a better CPU) and OC the 6300. If still not happy, then think of jumping to a new CPU (Zen may even be here by then ;) )

Thanks Mate, I really appreciate it. Now all I need is some advice on overclocking an Fx-6300 but, That's a different thread.

Until Then Cheers!
