Im upgrading my cpu to a amd fx 6300 but i have me old graphics card still in it and i want to now if my graphics card is going to bottle neck my fx 6300 my graphics card is the amd r7 250 2gb.
 
What cpu do you have now?
I think it unlikely that a FX-6300 upgrade is an effective one.

R7-250 is about as strong as the integrated HD530 graphics found on the newer skylake processors.
If your use is gaming, you should be looking at a stronger discreet graphics card.
 
GPU will never bottleneck a CPU.
(Kind of) Detailed Explanation:
In a game, CPU produces random things (pedestrian, bot movements) and GPU visualizes them. No matter how hard a CPU works, you can't see the results if there are no graphics cards to visualize it, so what matters is the GPU. The weaker the GPU, the weaker the power a CPU needs to balance them. The performance and the CPU usage will go down, but it won't be as bad as a CPU bottlenecking the GPU.
Proof:
Integrated Graphics. Do you know how weak an iGPU of the 6700K is even compared to an R7 250? A fair amount. But an iGPU can still play games and get almost the same results as mathematically measured, without any "bottlenecking".
 
I have the amd-athlon-ii-x2-280 and i will upgrade me gpu in about 4/5 months but i only want to now realy if i already can buy the fx 6300 and put it in my pc or just wait for me mew gpu it would be nice i i could already buy the fx 6300 do hope you react soon.
