Yes it will even newer fx CPUs bottleneck to a degree depending on the game I'd suggest upgrading when you can to use your GPU 100%. In none cpunintensive games you will be fine

Save your money, there is only a small difference between the HD7870 and R9 280X: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-revi... The performance increase is not enough to justify the upgrade.

I was already planned to change the motherboard and cpu as a plane B.... I can spend about 300 $ Usd for both .... Only if this upgrade will gain remarkable increase in fps while gaming
