Will the Athlon x4 750k bottleneck R9 380 4GB

So, i am looking for a new graphics card(the MSI R9 380 4GB Gaming) and i wonder if my current rig would bottleneck it THAT much

current rig:

CPU: AMD Athlon x4 750k

RAM: 2x8GB 1600Mhz

i can't remember the motherboard but i know it has an FM2+ socket and PCI x16 2.0

Current GPU:Nvidia GT 630 2GB

530w psu

First of all, i know i'll have to buy a new motherboard for that card.

The thing is , i don't have enough budget to buy a new cpu, so should i get the R9 380 and keep my Athlon x4 750k?

will it bottleneck that much?

It will bottleneck in CPU-bound games but it's fine for the most part
