When I get my new XFX AMD RADEON 7950 will my components be bottlenecking the card?

Only if you're playing at maxed out settings on lower resolutions. If you play on high at 1080p, unless it's a real PC meat grinder type demanding game (Crysis 3, etc.) then you should be fine...if you bottleneck it wouldn't be enough to make a difference in your gaming.

Not with that power supply you won't. Those power supplies sell for anywhere between £ 7 - £ 15 and aren't really able to tackle the demand an 8350 + 7950 combo would place on it.
