two R9 280X + FX 6300 4.2 OC = bottleneck?

I currently have FX 6300 CPU with Vapor X R9 280X. I just bought XFX R9 280X online to crossfire with vapor X. Is my CPU gonna bottleneck the 2 GPUs?

Depends on your monitor(s) resolution

Not to sure about the 280x's but my 6300@4.7 bottlenecked cf 290's at 1440p and worse at 1080p.

You need to running awful stuff on one or the other end to be bottlenecking.
