I built a budget rig from my cannibalized previous desktop. I bought a new case, more ram, video card (RX 480 8gb), new ssd, and two hard drives for raid. I'm still using my previous motherboard and processor (FX 6300).
FX 6300
RX 480 8GB XFX GTR
16GB DDR3/1866 Mhz
MX300 1TB (OS)
WD BLACK 2 x 2TB, RAID 0
WD BLACK 750GB
MOBA- 760G, M-ATX
Monitor- 1080p, 60hz
My question is, how badly will the FX 6300 bottleneck my RX 480 if at all?
I've been looking for benchmarks or videos but because of the age of the FX series I'm only really getting results on the 390 GPU.
Should I try to sell my processor and get a 8350? I just need games to run at 50-60 FPS on 1080p.
Bonus round: Is the Blue Yeti a meme? I was messing with one at a Best Buy and the knobs feel like cheap garbage.

Not really, it all depends on the type of software in this case.
If there's a bottleneck, upgrading to a bigger bulldozer is fairly cheap, or just go with Zen.

To add, if It can handle a 390, it can handle a 480.

The benchmarks show a 5-10 FPS lose on average for the 390. If it's bottlenecking as opposed to just performing better because of the higher frequency, my guess is that the gap will widen even more between the 8350 and 6300 for the RX 480. I just don't have a lot of resources to verify. So if I get 8 FPS more on a 390 with a 8350, then shouldn't I get substantially better FPS on the 480 by switching? Say 10-13?

As I said it depends on the game. A bottleneck will max out either the GPU or CPU in this case. If a game is a bit cpu heavy, yes it might show an improvement with an 8 core over a 6 core. That doesnt mean there's a bottleneck.

There's also 2 things:
The 8350 has a higher single core performance.
More games are using more cores simultaneously. So even if it's a modest improvement now, it may stay relevant longer than a 6 core.
