Will it bottleneck?

[Deanj502]

So I’m going to be upgrading my system and also getting the 3070 unless AMD comes out with something around the same price. Will I bottleneck or do I need to upgrade cpu or motherboard? Money is tight so prefer to not upgrade
specs:

msi B350m bazooka

ryzen 1700x

32gb Corsair vengeance pro

850 watts 80+ gold

EDIT: going to be playing things like COD and cyberpunk (when it comes out) hopefully at max settings, 1440p with a 144hz refresh rate. 
 

new to the forum so please move to another area if this is not the proper one.

Go with the r5 3600

Honestly depends on what you're doing and resolution, but I think it'd be fine with a 1700x

And what do you need this much ram for?

If you play at 4K, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

If you play at 1440p Ultra, you should be okay for the most part.

 

If you play at 1080p, yeah you'll be holding a 3070 back substantially, but if you're not going for high refresh rate then you won't really notice it. Though if you're playing at 1080p 60Hz, why buy a 3070

If budget concious...."money is tight, prefer to not upgrade"

I'd imagine an RTX 2070 Super or similar would also be a good choice if not playing at 4K, 1440p and 1080p it chews frames up.

 

And while USED..... Cheap AF, with warranty still in a lot of cases.

Currently have 16gb of it, but was going to upgrade to 32 to play it safe

The 3070 would be a graduation gift (EMT/firefighter) from my wife 

but I’d be playing at 1440p, 144 hz

I don’t think bottlenecking would be a problem

The 1700x shouldn't struggle that much then.

It should be fine for the most part at 1440, though wait for ampere to actually launch and check how the 3070 performs and how the 1700x holds up with it.
