Help with a CPU/Graphics Card

Hi

My sister is putting together a PC for her son with an R9 280X graphics card. Planning on using an AMD FX 6300 Black Edition processor though. Is that likely to be a bottleneck for the card? Would a AMD FX 8320 Black Edition be any better or still a problem? Thanks!

What is her budget?

ive had both the 6300 and the 8350 (higher clock than the 8320) personally i would recomend the 8320 but if her budget is limited nothing wrong with the 6300, i think if you overclock it it shouldnt bottleneck it

Oh apparently she's gone ahead and ordered the 8320 now anyway. Don't know why I bother....

Ha ha ha. Thanks for your help though!!
