I have an AMD A8-5600k, with 8Gb of ddr3 1600Mhz ram. The APU was amazing back when I got it and it just isn't working for me anymore. I was considering getting an Radeon 7850 with 2gb V-ram. Are there any other GPU's that would out preform the 7850 at the same price range? Also, would my CPU become a bottleneck with a new GPU? Thanks.

No and no, unless you're playing ArmA III.

If you wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Boxing Day you will probably be able to get a great deal on a 7950 if you are willing to spend a bit more.
