Hi, my rig is -
FX 6300
HD 7770
GA 78 LMT S2
450W Corsair
8GB Transcend DDR3
1TB WD Blue

So, I'm gonna buy the RX 470 and want to know how much of a bottleneck will it be w/ the cpu? I play BF4. R6S., and BF1 for sure.
How many FPS can i expect in these games on high settings?

Yes, I will upgrade in fiture to the new ZEN CPU's or Skylake whichever's bang for the buck, so I'm open to suggestions, but do remember I'm on a very tight budget. (20,000Rs)
Before recommending any parts, please do go through some retailers like amazon.in to check the price.

Thanks.

BF4 apparently like just about any CPU (except maybe the old dual-core Phenoms or tri-core Athlons), so your FX-6300 is more than fine.

RX 470 was able to reach over 60FPS @ Ultra settings @ 1080p resolution, so you should have no problems with that game. RX 480 & GTX 1060 have higher performance, obviously.

RX 470 is apparently able to reach 120+ FPS @ 1080p, with the 480 reaching 140+ & the 1060 150+. Unfortunately, I didn't find any information about exact comparisons of CPU benchmarks...but apparently even low-end to moderate...

Unfortunately, I didn't find any information about exact comparisons of CPU benchmarks...but apparently even low-end to moderate laptop CPUs could run it easily (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Rainbow-Six-Siege-Notebook-Benchmarks.156116.0.html), so I don't think that will be a factor.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how BF1 will stack up. However, any of those 3 GPUs (RX 470, RX 480, GTX 1060) should be more than enough power for you. So whichever one a) doesn't break your bank & b) is actually in stock would end up being a solid choice.

Actually, the 570.isnfor 255$ and 480 for 315 $. So, thats a bog difference and why a 480,gonna bottleneck right?

I'm assuming that's the 470 that's available for $255, not a "570". ;)

In any case, the 480 will perform better...but in the range of about 15% better (about the same range that the GTX 1060 provides over the 480). The price range you're listing, however, is about 23% (also about the range that the GTX 1060 tends to have over the 480). So, if you can afford it, buy the 480. But if your budget is a little tight, then the 470 has more "bang for the buck" at those price points.
