I in process of getting the next Computer prat, Will I be fine over clocking a FX-6300 with use one then two Furry X in future went paring two furry X GPU.
It will likely bottleneck one Fury X let alone two. A CPU upgrade would be much smarter than two Fury Xs which, to be frank, is kind of dumb.

Should just sell FX-AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
OR just Sell Current MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3 and Motherboard and FX-6300.
What are you saying? I'm sorry I don't understand.
Are you saying you have an FX8350 or an FX 6300?
or are you saying you're going to sell the 5300 and get the 8350?
What games and what resolution.
It really is irrelevant. Even with a heavy overclock the 6300 will bottleneck those GPUs to some degree. Some will be worse than others of course but both will suffer serious performance degradation. DX12 might help but not to any great degree to make it worth it. The Bulldozer FX parts are ancient now and really are not a good gaming part. Especially at the high end like this.
Really though whole thing is silly generally as buying two Fury X GPUs is a bad idea anyway and really whatever he gets high end wise will be hurt by that CPU.
I have one FX-6300 Six core 3.5-4.1 GHZ Procoessor
Not necessarily. One Fury X will likely be fine with a 6300 in graphics intensive games at a high resolution, so if he wants to crossfire Fury X at a high resolution (don't see a good reason to crossfire at less than 4k), then upgrading to an 8350 will suffice.
A fury will more than likely push crap out of 6300 and be bottlednecked to some degree by it. 8350 and single fury is passable but keep a eye on things as the gpu will work the 8350 pretty hard at times. temps.........ect No way should you even try to cf two furys and amd anything as it stands atm. Just a waste of money unless you building something better soon. I forgot to add if your still running 1080p just forget it as the passable part only applieds to higher resolutions. 1440p 4k ?
This is a relatively specific instance and not universal in all titles. Plus the Fury X is quite a bit more powerful than a 980.
Also an 8350 would be pointless. Nearly all games run on a max of 4 cores. The 8350's cores are identical to the 6300 there are just two more of them. Two more not being used. I'd guarantee the results, outside a few specific instances, would be essentially identical.
Even if it was somewhat passible at 4K it doesn't make sense to me. That CPU is already struggling and outside of that it will fall down and in a year or so it will be even worse.

One Fury X will be held back by a 6300, and Two will be severely handicapped by a 6300. You really want an I5 or I7 too pair with a Fury X, and at 1080p even an I5 or I7 will slightly handicap the Fury X without some overclocking in some games. Two Fury X's are going to be wasted at all but 4k or 1440p ultrawide.
In games, the 8350 gives significantly more performance than the 6300. Not night and day, but a definite upgrade.
If It were me, I would avoid crossfire altogether. A Fury X and an 8350 will do well enough in those titles at 4k. By the time that you will be wanting to add another Fury X, Vega should be available and should be a sizeable upgrade without the headache of multigpu. Get the Fury X, see how performance is. If the cpu is causing an issue, get an 8350 for now and keep that system until you want to upgrade the whole thing. You are basically talking about getting a whole new system to begin with, so just hold off for now and see if you can get the performance you need with what you have and a decent gpu.

Spot on.
Thats kinda logical, because the FX8350 has an extra fpu available.

Wait why Fury X? depends on the game but it should hit 60fps in most games no problem really, it's only going to matter in a game like ARMA or Total War, or with a 144hz display
you should just wait for the RX 480 in 2 weeks unless you're getting a really good deal on that Fury X, like near $300 dollar deal

I'd take an 8GB RX 480 over a Fury X any day.
the FX-6300 will not really bottleneck any current gpu. on the amd AM3+ socket. pci-e traffic is managed on the motherboard not the cpu. the cpu dose have a controller for ram speed however that can handel DDR3-1866 or upto 29gb/s bandwidth.
from what I've seen most amd AM3+ mobos can do at-least 1 full pci-e 2.0 x16 slot. boards that do crossfire have 2 pci-e 1.0 x16 slots or run in 2.0 8x mode.
heres some idea of what performance you can expect running a fury x using diffrent pci-e slots. 
that said the FX-6300 is heavily lacking in core performance. you'd need to overclock it to 5+ghz to get some more cpu demanding games to a reasonable frame rate.

Buy one R9 Fury (Non-X), and get a new CPU and motherboard upgrade.. No reason to keep the FX part. It's 4 years old and lacks core performance which modern day titles require.. The only time core performance won't matter is in 4K. Where games will be come entirely GPU dependant and not CPU bound.
Dissapointed by the lack of furry in this thread. Ah well....
It won't bottleneck, like you're hitting a brick wall and you wont go further once you put a certain teir of graphhics card in there, but you will see degraded performance. How much depends on the game you're running.
