Will this system bottleneck?

AMD FX-6300
AMD R9 290x 4GB

Will the CPU bottleneck the GPU? Looking to buy the 290x on sale for about £215. Need help fast! Thanks very much!

You should be fine with a fx-6300. One of the components is always going to be the inferior one. However, The cpu handles the games engine commands. Where as the gpu handles the pixel shading and post effects. Since the fx-6300 is plenty of capable of handling most games with relatively consistent frame rate. I would be comfortable saying you will not be looking at any problems.
