Yeah it'll bottleneck. From my own knowledge it won't really be able do play most games that are current, it only has two cores.

There is no such thing as i3 3760.

 

Regardless any of these several years old i3's will bottleneck a GTX 1070.

To be clear, there will always be a CPU bottleneck depending on how you configure your video games. Many CPU intensive games of the last 2 years will hit an older i3 pretty hard, which will obviously bottleneck that 1070.

Even lower end titles will not like that combo.  I had a rx570 and g4400 (2 cores) playing overwatch and it was stuttery at all quality settings.  Upgraded to 6700 and its smooth as silk.

2 cores can't play modern titles very well.

How about an i5 4 tj gen

Should be more serviceable, especially if you get a K model and overclock it.

Hi, I’m trying to give back and make gaming systems out of crap. Ddr3 8gb, would an i3 3760 and i3 4130 or something like that be bottlenecked heavily in games by the 1070? If so what games in particular would be. 

I think only at 4k the 1070 won't be bottlnecked by a 4th or 3rd gen i3. i reccomend at least a i5 6600k or i5 4690k(even that will bottleneck it slightly at 1080p) for a 1070.

Damn....

A Ryzen 5 1400 makes more sense to purchase nowadays than any Intel 3rd and 4th gen used i3/i5

Right but I’m keeping the mobo 

3rd and 4th Intel gens do not use the same motherboard.

Won't go at all

Yeah, it'd probably run great. Especially with a K-series one like an i5-4670K
