How well will a FX-6300(stock) and GTX 970 work together?

Looking to upgrade my graphics card. Currently I have a a R9 270 from MSI, she's starting to show her age, and I'm gonna sell it off for a fair price and buy a new one.

The most card I can afford Is a GTX 970, I hear the term "bottlenecking" thrown around too much. Mostly by people who have no clue what they are talking about. I just want to know, how bad this said "bottleneck" if you will, would be(if any), and if I should opt for less card.

My motherboard is a ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS, pretty low end. I doubt I can do much in terms of cpu overclocking here, hopefully I'm wrong on that though.

Cheers.
