Planning to replace it with a R9 280x. For the cash I'll be shelling out will the performance difference between the cards be worth it? Or should I just break the bank and go with a 290x?

Also I only have a FX6300 will it bottleneck these two newer GPUs?

it might be worth it to upgrade for 280x but not by much just a little , but if you can afford a 290x then I advice you to save up a little more and get the gtx 780 ti, I bought the 290x just 2 days before the 780 ti got released and I returned it for a full refund , added 60$ and got the 780 ti, man it's a beast <3 though you need to overclock that FX6300 :)

If you need just a %20-%30 icrease, then you can wait for mantle and some oc.
