I am currently running a 5 year old I5 rig with a GTX 1070.   I was thinking about upgrading to a Ryzen system .  What processor would work best with my 1070.

Thanks for the input.   I was worried about the great bottlenecking fears.

I would at least wait for the announcement to see if zen 3 will be worth it and if it isn't then i would get a 3600 or something.

I was looking to upgrade now to a motherboard that may be futureproof. 

Hate buying new stuff, I wait for for the bugs to be worked out.   My old system is at its limits in 1080.

If you want to upgrade now I would do what eeeee1 said and get a 3600 with a decent b450 board or a b550 board if you want pcie 4.0.

Will the GTX 1070 still work with that setup.   Also what are the thoughts on 16gb vs 32gb highspeed ram

A 1070 will work fine and for gaming a good 3600 cl16 kit of ram will be fine. Unless you are doing something besides gaming that uses more ram 16 gigs is all you need.

Normally I'd agree with "there's always something new on the horizon" but right now really not the time to be saying that.

 

Intel is effectively EOL on their aging half decade old Skylake 14nm++ technology and Ryzen 3000 series is all but discontinued.

 

If we were 6 months ago I'd say just go ahead, but given you have a functioning computer now i'd absolutely wait.

Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.
