So lately I've been thinking about upgrading my graphics card. I currently have a HD 7950, and thinking about upgrading to an R9 390, but I am not sure whether or not my current CPU would bottleneck it.

A little information:
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: XFX 7950 DD-Black E.
PSU: 750W
- Have SSD for games and HDD for other software -

TL;DR: Will FX-6300 bottleneck a R9 390?

yes Karsten75 is right in some games you can experience some kind of bottleneck caused by the FX-6300 but as he said you will be fine for most games :D
Regarding the r9 390 you should go with Sapphire version. I own one and it's the best card, oc really well, low temps and great performance
