I want a graphics card with 4gb ram, power consumption is not an issue. I want something that will give me the best gaming performance. Also i would like to know if my cpu, AMD A6-5400K, would bottleneck it, that way i know if i should upgrade my cpu.

Personally with your cpu I agree that a 380x would be a good card, a 4gb runs from $200-$230 depending on sales or rebates. You should only see bottlenecks in high cpu demanding games like GTA V but that would be with any gpu not just the 380x

My advice shop around get a 380x when on sale around $200 with or without rebate, Newegg has an XFX for $200 right now that will be restocked on Monday. Take the extra $50 and apply towards a quad core upgrade to you motherboard now or a few months down the road. If you board supports FM2/ FM2+ then maybe a 860k ($70) if only FM2 A10-5800k typically can still be found new for around $90 or a 760k

Canadian, Honk Kong, USA, Australian Dollars?
What is the display/s resolution and refresh rate?
A A6 5400K will probably hold back a R9 380X a little, but at 1080 res, not by much, certainly not enough to justify replacing the entire CPU/MB/RAM.

Not sure what country you are in but in the USA you can still get a 760K which is a quad core FM2 unlocked cpu for around $80 it has not igpu but if you are buying a gpu like the 380x you will be fine

Another option is the A10-5800k typically 80-90 here in the USA

If your not opposed to buying used you can sometimes fine cheaper on ebay and amazon in the 50-60 price range

If international or usa this ebay seller will ship world wide and a 760K is $70 usd

just it might take 2 weeks to receive it. I've ordered form them twice they are trust worth

Yep its an unclocked quad core for the FM2 socket, its the fastest you can get on the FM2

That link has expired but they have relisted them. Here is the new link
