Will an AMD FX 4350 cause an Asus R9 270x 4gb to bottleneck?

Recently I found out that the 6300 is apparently a much better CPU than the 4350, and they were literally the same damn price. I checked newegg, and they don't even stock the 4350 anymore.

I paired the 4350 with an Asus R9 270x 4gb (yeah, I know. 4gb is unecessary, I essentially got upsaled because I hadn't done extensive research at the time.) and I'm worried that it's going to bottleneck.

Will the 4350 bottleneck my card? Would the 6300 have really been THAT MUCH better? I have no intention of overclocking.

Is the difference between the 6300 and 4350 super big? Or just a, "Well the 6300 is pretty much the same price, and a bit better, so get it." or, "The 6300 is MUCH better, and the same price, so get it."

Thanks.
 
The difference between the two processors is splitting hairs. The FX-6300 is generally a better bang-for-the-buck, but the FX-4350 does have a stock clock of 4.2ghz (700mhz more than the stock clock of the previous processor).

You have a good match-up, especially for gaming; no worries.
