I have a Athlon 5350 and I am planning to get a r9 270x. Will this bottleneck the gpu? Thanks.

Yes, it will. You should probably upgrade your CPU, as either ways, it will not perform well in any of the new games.

Like I said, the CPU will probably perform pretty bad in any of the new games, so I recommend upgrading the motherboard and processor as well. What's the max you can spend? I'll try to put something together.

I currently have the boson http://austinnotduncan.com/builds/boson/ and I have $280 to spend on a graphics card and Cpu if needed. I am currently on the Fm2+ socket with my athlon.

If you can push it a little more further, you can get the following: Video Card - $120, Processor - $110, Motherboard - $80. Total of $310. If you can do that, you will have a decent PC that can basically run any game so far, just not on the highest settings.

Hope I was able to help. If you have any more questions, let me know.

EDIT: Also, what's your PSU? Need to make sure you can support those parts.
