I am planning to upgrade my pc but i have a few questions

 

Will a Intel core i5 6500 and 8 gb of ram bottleneck if I upgrade my gtx 1070 to rtx 2070? should I upgrade my CPU as well?

If I should upgrade my CPU, what would you recommend that is about the price of an core i5? because I'm also considering AMD CPUs. Thanks for your answers!

If it's an i5 6th gen then it's probably gonna bottleneck. You'll need an i7 or a Ryzen 5/7

 

i7-8700k is one of the best out there but the price is way too big at least for me.

 

Go AMD, their Ryzen 7 lineup goes for like 200? Or if you want you can wait for 3rd gen to come out

Yes it will bottleneck.

For CPU I recommend Ryzen 5 2600x

Ryzen 7 1700 going for 160 on amazon.

 

Also ryzen 7 2600 for 230 bucks on amazon

(I was actually surprised by this, never thought a Ryzen 7 would dip to 100s lol, Amd is literally blowing the competition out of the water)
