Will the 1060 bottleneck my pc?

[Matthew10550]

So I was going to get a 1070 for my build, but everyone told me that the 1070 would bottleneck my i3 4150, so I was thinking, should I get the 1060, or the 480, or neither because they will both bottleneck? I will most likely though be buying a new cpu (i5-4590), will that be ok with the 1070? Thanks!

Your i3 will bottleneck even a 1050/470. You need a new CPU first

Any i5 will bottleneck the 1070 at 1080p. For a 1070/1080/Fury X/980Ti you need an i7 to have the best experience

They told you wrong. The i3 4150 is the bottleneck in your system. It's too weak of a processor for that powerful of a graphics card.

the i3 would bottleneck the 1070. just wanted to clarify that. 

 

the 4590 will be ok with a 1070. though it might not yield the best results in cpu intensive games. what is your setup? 1080p? 1440p?

it is 1080p

As a 4590 owner it will bottleneck. It's already at 70% usage with my 280.

I didn't read your entire post. Ignore my previous statement.

The i5-4590 will do great with a GTX 1070, but I personally would go for the i5-6600 or the i5-6500.

It won't. We've been over this before on the forum. Locked i5s are a major bottleneck with GP104 and a 6600K at 4.5GHz is still a minor bottleneck.

1070 is roughly the same as a Titan X stock

My bad, maybe try going with an i7-6700 or 6700k.

is it 60hz? might be a little overkill for the 1070, but i guess its still good for futureproofing
