your i5 is probably better for most games than the 8350. I'd reccomend just getting a newer graphics card and maybe psu if it will need more than 500w

 

edit: also an ssd if you don't have one.

but same1 said in the forums that the Games like GTA:V, Fallout 4 and few others Nvidia titles that weirdly CPU/drawcalls intensive need beefier CPU to feed the 390 properly. i5-2400 is a little weak for R9-390.....  it could bottleneck pretty significantly in some CPU bound games  ..... It won't crash but you will not get smooth gaming experience when that happen ....he said get batter cpu but i see in store batter cpu is  expensive  for me to buy....i alrady buy the gpu and psu but did not buy the motherboard and cpu....what shot i do? 

 

ya i5 - 2400 is week that i hade on like 3 year alrady....is it weak?

If you already have the new gpu wait for it to come get it up and running and see what you're getting and if you're happy with it. The 8350 would probably be a bigger bottle neck for that card. I would wait to upgrade cpu/mb until you can get something better. And like I said earlier  an ssd will help the pc seem much faster, also a new windows install wouldn't hurt either.

 

p.s. if you're wanting some one to respond please tag them.

You could just get a better cpu for that mother board that might be an okay option  https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H67MAE45_B3.html#support-cpu

I wouldn't say an 8350 is a worthwhile upgrade to an i5 2400.  Go ahead and get the graphics card.

 

I don't know where this huge fear of 'bottlenecking' comes from.  Even if you do encounter it in your scenario here, you're probably not even going to realize it unless you're actually watching a system monitor more than you're watching your game.  More importantly, even if you do encounter it, it's not really a big deal.  It's not harming anything.  It's just not utilizing a component to its fullest in that specific scenario.

FX-8350 = RM8xx
970 Gaming = RM4xx

 

I suggest grab a 
Core i5-6500 = RM8xx

MSI B150M = RM4xx
Gskill Ripjaws V 8GB (4GB x 2) / 2400Mhz = RM329 (Sell your DDR3)
