Hello I just have a question about whether I should switch to an i5 4690k with my Gtx 760 or keep my 4.3 GHz fx 6300 and upgrade to a R9 290.

I will be playing at 1080p but Ive read where the FX might bottleneck the 290.

All help is appreciated:)

I really don't know how bad, but I really wouldn't pair the two. If I were you I would just upgrade to an 8-core and then save up for a r9 290. The 290 prices are getting pretty damn low because of all the maxwell releases. How much do you want to spend on an upgrade?
