Will this bottleneck?

[Watney]

I'm looking to upgrade my rig, specifically my GPU. I'm want to replace my GTX 970 with a 2070, the thing is, I'm not sure of my I5 4670 non-k CPU will bottleneck the said GPU. I'm on a rather limited budget, so I want to see if I could get away with not buying a new CPU, though if needs must, i'll just have to bear with it. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

 

Rig specs:

i5 4670

GTX 970

samsung 1tb ssd

16gb ram

If possible, 4k, but I can make do with 2550.

What games are you playing? Some games will, Games such as battlefield but not enough to make the game unplayable (But it does mean you can turn up the graphics/Res scale/AA without a performance hit). Just depends on if its a CPU intensive game or not. Personally I would go for it.

 

I would try save up for something like a Ryzen 5 1600, Which is a much better combo.

Thank you. i am also considering a ryzen upgrade, although that would also mean having to buy a new MB. Still, worth considering.

-Ryzen 3000 is around the corner, though X570 boards will be expensive.

-Nvidia and AMD are prepping for GPU announcements at E3 which is in the coming week. AMD has completely new products that are supposed to compete with RTX 2070 level, while Nvidia are probably gonna do price-cuts. You might wanna look out for that.

-RTX 2070 right now is horrible value anyway, spending $100 less on a decent 2060 and overclocking it gives you same performance as 2070
