Will my PC bottleneck any parts?

I want to play titles such as BF4 (Mantle) and Crysis 3 on Ultra settings with atleast 40+ FPS on Overclocked. Generally first person shooter games 2013-present on Ultra. I also want to know if this can handle Watch dogs. I will be using this PC for multimedia tasking and gaming at 1920x1080p. I will be using the latest Catalyst drivers.

I am getting this for just around £500 including the CiT Vantage gaming case (£500 is my budget)

Asus A88XM-A Motherboard
AMD FM2 A8 6600K 4.2ghz Turbo Quad Core CPU
8gb crucial DDR3 1600mhz Performance RAM
1tb Seagate Barracuda Sata 6Gb/s 64mb Cache 7200rpm HDD
Samsung 24x SH-224DB/BEBE Sata DVD Writer Optical drive
AMD Radeon R9 280X 3gb GDDR5 GPU
Corsair CX600 80 Plus Bronze 600w PSU
Artic cooling freezer pro 7 Rev.2 CPU cooler + AC MX-4g thermal compound

I will be overclocking the CPU and possibly even the GPU. I would like to know as the title says, will it bottleneck?

You've got a cpu that's for APU :p  but ya it should run most of the games right now on ultra. Except for Watch dogs

It's like a cpu/gpu so you don't need to buy a gpu anymore. Maybe get the 8320 or 8350?

so Its like a intel 5 with Integrated graphics + Nvidia geforce?

EDIT: How about the FX 6300 six core CPU? I have to swap out the mobo and get the Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 to maintain the budget

An APU is not a replacement for a GPU when gaming, you still need to get a GPU....
Integrated graphics (APU) is not going to be nearly as fast as a R9 280X, no idea what you got that from, if he ran on the integrated graphics he would be running everything on low... lol.

Definitely go for the FX-6300. Apu's aren't designed for high performance. You have to replace the mobo too but overall a decent build.
