I have an amd athlon ll x4 760k run at 3.8 ghz for my CPU. I was wondering if this CPU would be giving my graphics card (an R9 280X) any bottlenecks. And, if so, what amd CPU do you recommend I upgrade to?

Yeah, since that is a high end card there will be bottlenecking.

However, if you overclock it to 4.5 Ghz or 4.8 Ghz, the bottleneck will greatly diminish.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a good cpu upgrade from yours, yours is pretty much the top of the line cpu for your motherboard.

Only option is to get a new mobo, and in that case go to Intel, intel has better gaming processors as well as future cpu support.
