Yes, your components will work together. However a big issue I see is bottle-necking. The FX 6300 is a pretty weak processor. You will not be able to draw out the full power of your GPU., unless you're going to overclock. If you plan to use them for gaming, then you aren't gonna get far on modern games.

Well, it has the same socket type AM3+, so yes, it should work fine.
But all in all, the FX-xxxx CPU's are all pretty dated, for the money you would spend on them, you could easily get a more modern i3 instead. The FX-9590 is also a huge power hog and what I can tell from benchmarks, it also produces a shitton of heat, so you'll also need a good PSU and a very good cooling setup.
A good i3 at the same price range as the FX-9590 is i3-7350K . However, throw a little on top and you can easily get a i5-7600, which performs almost 50% better then the FX-9590. But if you like to stay with AMD, then the only modern CPU's they have are Ryzen, cheapest one being Ryzen 5 1400, but it also uses a different socket, namely SAM4.
a modern CPU doesn't face the FX-XXXX problems, only problem is, you'd also need to switch out your MOBO because of a different socket.
Are you just looking to upgrade your current CPU, or are you actually building a new rig?
