Will an FX-6300 make a NOTICEABLE bottleneck on an R9 290x?

At stock speeds compared to faster CPU yes, there is always overclocking to minimize the bottleneck.

It won't be a hit to fps will it? Like nothing more than a 10 fps decrease to higher end cpu?

Hard to say.. There will be that much of a hit compared to the 4790k in some games. But I dont think you would be hurting in games like BF4

It is going to be game dependent but nothing that will be hurtful.
