Will a 2070 super be bottlenecked by my I7 4790 (non-k)

Hi everyone! I am considering finally upgrading my system that's currently running an I7 4790, GTX 970, MSI KraitEdition MOBO, and a 800watt powersupply. I am looking to run take full advantage of my new 1080p 144hz monitor and most games like MW, R6, Overwatch can't run on my system at decent graphics quality at 120+FPS which is what I want my system to do. So. Would I get a desired experience by only upgrading my GPU to either a 2070 or 2070 super? 

 

I am also planning on keeping my new card for quite a long time and planning on upgrading the rest of my system (CPU, MOBO, RAM, etc) later in the year.

 

Any suggestions on my train of thought are widely appreciated.

MSI Z120 Krait Edition LGA1151, I7 4790 3.6 Ghz, 16 gb DDR3 RAM, GTX 970 Founders, WD Green 2tb, Crucial 256gb SSD, NZXT Phantom Case (System Build 6 Years Old)

Rainbow 6 and modern warfare may struggle on an old i7

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I currently pull around 90FPS in R6 and hover at 60 in MW. Not sure whats causing it to be slow

Yeah, it probably will bottleneck a 2070 Super. Maybe want to put that money towards a new system?

Probably a good idea. I wont be able to start making money again until late in the summer however. I am more trying to upgrade a little something right now to at least take advantage of the high refresh rate display I got until I can upgrade the rest
