Would this bottleneck?

I am planning on upgrading to the equivalent of either a 7950 or 7970 when AMD's new series comes out soon. Will this bottleneck my CPU (FX-4300)? If it would bottleneck it, would upgrading to an FX-8350 be a good choice for the price?

 

My current specs are:

 

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 mobo

AMD FX-4300

Hyper 212 EVO

8 gb (2x4) 1600 MHz RAM

Sapphire Radeon HD 7770

Corsair CX600-600 watt PSU.

Not really if you have a decent overclock.

The card won't bottleneck the CPU. It would be the other way around.
