Cpu is running at 4.2ghz, does it still bottleneck with the 970? Switching to a 8320e or 8350 will fix that?

It is going to bottleneck no matter what with all those CPUs you listed. I'd save up for an i5 4460 or so. Any i5 would not bottleneck it.

You wont get the max power out of the 970 with the fx 6300,but hey,buy the card and enjoy it,you wont notice that its being bottlenecked.Maybe in the future you could upgrade to an i5
