I currently have an fx-6300 @4.6ghz, would there be a large bottleneck if I bought an r9 380/ 390?

You might get a very small bit of bottlenecking, but it won't be noticeable at all with that GPU. Most games rely on CPU power as well so I highly doubt you'll run into any issue, and later on if you want to, or feel the need to, just upgrade your CPU. If you look under the tutorials tab here, there is a new bottlenecking guide. Hope this helps! :)
