I have an athlon x4 635 with a HD 6750 and I was wanting to upgrade to a r7 360. I don't know of my current CPU would bottleneck it though
 
Solution
It may, it may not. Any CPU can bottleneck any GPU. It entirely depends on the games, graphical resolution and graphical quality. Please, read here: https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/214851-on-cpugpu-bottlenecking-in-games

Also, bottlenecking is pointless to worry about as long as the CPU can perform up to your frame rate goal in the games you play, and your GPU can perform up to your visual goals in those games.

If you open the intended games with your current PC, and temporarily reduce resolution as low as possible. If the FPS you receive there is fine for you, your CPU will not cause any worrying bottlenecks no matter the GPU.

Around 100$, but I found the r7 360 for 80$ online and I'm planing on upgrading my CPU in the future
