Graphics card help

I was planning on getting the rx 470 for my fx 6300 then i saw the rx 550 (which is a newer card right?) and its cheaper. is it any good? will it bottleneck?

The RX 550 is a lower tier card than the 470. It also only has 2GB VRAM vs. the 470's 4GB. The 550 even gets smoked by the 460: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-550-2gb,5034-4.html

It will be fine. You would get more performance out of a newer i5 build, but for what you have for a 6+ year old CPU, you will be fine with a 470.

Here's an old review of several CPUs using a GTX 580 (which is slower than the 470). This should put your mind at ease:
