MSI z170a g43 plus
8GB Hyperx Fury
ssd etc.
(hd 4890 ;DD)
time to up graph, i saw few times guyz saying that this i5 is bottleneck for 1070, should i go for 1060? im gonna play in 1080p. @ 60fps or if i buy 1070 im gonna buy 144HZ  108p monitor soon (like for christmas)
money is big deal here, 1070 is more than mine month salary. (about 2$) here in my country so i dont wanna to waste money

AAAAnd, here it comes!

 

...but seriously OP, depending on the titles you play and the framerates you're aiming for, you should be perfectly alright. Only expect bottlenecks if you're trying to run silly framerates (120/144 etc, again, depending on the title).

I say that the latest i5 wont bottleneck it by as much os older CPUs. But I noticed it too, way too many topics saying their i5 hold 1070 back and they dont get 100+ fps...

I think @Slick  should make benchmarks comparing i5-4690K vs i5-6600K vs i7-6700K with GTX 1070 to clarify.

i play at 0 fps 1240x xxx reso with no settings at all, i had all consoles (xbox 360, one, ps2,3 and 4) i sell that shit away and now wanna play at pc, i know that in games like LoL and cs go ill get stable 300, im aim for AAA on High (may be not ultra) i can sacrifice some shadows and deep efect, i cant play AAA on ultra coz im too poor ;d.

one important game for me is FOrza horizon 3 i wanna play at least high setings

You can do way better than high on all those titles on a 1070. CPU bottlenecking is more so tied to framerate. So if you're aiming for a reasonable ~60fps, you're good, in any resolution. And you're on a 6600K. Assuming you're running a CPU that does the job, it's always better to buy the best GPU you can at the time. if the 1070 is in your budget, go for the 1070.

ok, thanks

Short answer:  It will in certain games in certain resolutions at high frame rates.

Takeaway, it's better to have a 6700k with a 1070, but a 6600k with a 1070 will still be faster than a 6600k with a 1060.
