You may see a performance increase with an i7 if you are going for 144hz 1080p in demanding games but other than that the i5 6600k is a perfect match for the gtx 1070.

@Brooksie359 is fallout 4 and skyrim demanding games.

Do you plan to play them at 144hz?

It depends on the game. In certain scenes of games yes it will bottleneck but you should be fine for the most part.

@Brooksie359 yeah when i get the money for a new monitor i will get a 144hz but does it matter when i play on csgo?

not at all

If you are casual CSGO player - you don't need 144hz,yes it is lot smoother but i personally think it's not worth the price. i5 might bottleneck in some games but not that much,be sure to overclock it =)

maybe a little but not enough to matter. you might see a 10 fps difference going to an i7 but again you will be at such high frame rates that it wont really matter. tbh i don't think skyrim and fallout are cpu intensive enough to get a benefit form an i7. unless you mod the crap out of them will alot of entities

Any i5 is a bottleneck for FO4. It benefits from i7s.

 

Despite the overwhelming number of 'no's in this thread, for 1080p 144Hz, the i5 6600K will bottleneck the GTX 1070 in games such as GTA V, Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 even when overclocked.

 

My advice is to get a locked i7 6700 instead.
