Bottleneck Potential?

[Busconian]

I am not a expert with PCs and I am looking into upgrading my PC....

Would my CPU hold back the RX 480 a lot and how much performance should I be gaining if I bought the card? 

I mostly play Grand Theft Auto 5, Battlefield 4, Black Ops 3, and some other smaller games at 1280x720 to get about 50-60 FPS.

Specs:

AMD 4300 3.8Ghz

8GB Ram

GTX 750ti

600w Thermaltake PSU (Got a good deal I know it is over-kill)

Big time, you'd probably get over 60FPS, but you'd be wasting a lot of potential.

I am gonna guess the 8320 would bottleneck too?

Probably not much or any at all.

Thanks  Probably going to upgrade to a 8320 and a RX 480 later this year.

Depends on the game. Much less than your current CPU of course, but Witcher 3, BF4, GTAV, etc. Will all see FPS losses compared to an i5 or i7, will still be over 60 nonetheless.

I will be running at 1680x1050 (native res) and aiming for 60fps with decent settings. I could wait until the end of the year to get a i5 4460 and new mobo if it will bring a lot more performance.
