Will AMD FX6350 bottleneck GTX 760/R9 280

[TheZarke]

Trying to build on a budget and cut a few corners. Still have yet to order that parts so I can't perform any tests, and I'm curious if I should downgrade/upgrade either the cpu/gpu.in case one will bottleneck the other. If one does end up bottlenecking the other what adjustments should I make?

short and simply, no. The FX 6350 will support both GPU's, with no bottleneck.

The 6350 should be OK on either of those cards. Probably even a GTX770. Its new and hard to tell for sure

I would highly suggest going with the 6300 as the 6350 is just a factory overclocked 6300. So you could save the extra $20-$30 and do the overclocking yourself. Especially since most of these CPU's runs very well at 4.5Ghz. I've even seen some people clock it as high as 5.2Ghz, but not every chip is going to do that. So I think you should spend the extra money on a quality motherboard and have fun overclocking.

As for your original question, I don't know enough about video cards to know if it will bottleneck or not. I do know that a lot of people use the 6300 for a budget gaming CPU. Also you have the ability to upgrade to the 8320 or 8350 on the same motherboard. I don't game much but do a ton of audio recording and this thing doesn't even break a sweat.
