I want to upgrade to an R9 280x and I was wondering if I would be bottlenecking with my A8-6600k.

I need help with this because I like my processor, and I really don't want to have to upgrade that as well. Can I please have some help.

Yeah your CPU/APU is not very good, so will hold back performance of the 280x.

Would an R9 270x/ R9 270 be ok, or would I have to upgrade my processor for that?

Both will work fine, but your processor will still hold them back in some more cpu demanding games.
