Possible CPU Bottleneck?

Hey guys!

I recently bought the game Just Cause 3 for my gaming pc. All my specs are more than good enough be able to run the game at 60fps. But I am unsure of my CPU. I have a AMD FX 6300 CPU (6 cores) , which is considerably old, paired with a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6Gb as well as 16Gb DDR3 1600mhz Ram. The reason why I am asking is because I am not getting 60fps, but rather an unstable and stuttering 40-60fps at 1080p. Is my CPU bottlenecking my card and if so how badly? Is Just Cause 3 a CPU intensive game?
 
Solution
From what i've seen previously, the FX 6300 will bottleneck the GTX 1060 somewhat. This can be alleviated slightly by overclocking the CPU.
