Hello, I am wondering if i should/Can upgrade my Gpu to a 3070 when it comes out.

My specs are

Ram:16 gb (1500mhz)

Gpu: gtx 1060 6gb (change this to 3070)

cpu:2600x 

Motherboard:  PRIME X470-PRO

ssd: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB and also a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB 

Is it a good upgrade? Will it bottleneck?

yes but I would upgrade cpu first as you might have a bottleneck since the card is more powerful

Wait for ampere to actually come out and then check performance and how the 2600x holds up with a 3070, it will probably struggle a bit, but at higher resolutions like 1440/ 4k, it shouldn't be too bad, but what psu do you have? 

and again, wait for ampere to actually release and check how the 3070 performs.
