Is it Overclocked? you won't be severely bottle-necking it in fact if you do game at 1080p you'll be just fine in anything not far too CPU demanding like certain BF1 online maps but considering a CPU upgrade in the near future is advised, for a GTX 1070 FE for the full performance you should go with something like the i5 6500 at least and even so I'd suggest nothing less than a i5 6600k or i7 6700/6700k

If you can get a 1070, get that.

It's much better than any 1060 6GB out there.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

If you can afford it I would go with the 1070 FE anytime, you'll be safe for any gaming you want at 1080p and 60fps, the GTX 1060  although very good card already is failing to delivery 60fps on the more poorly optimized games such as Watch Dogs 2

Unless you have an i7-3770/3770K, your CPU would bottleneck the GTX 1070 in some games as it's an Ivy Bridge one judging by the mobo.

With the Motherboard yes, with the CPU though that's another story whether you'll suffer from bottlenecks, since you haven't tell which one I can't tell you but defintely you board is compatible with it, pretty much all you need is to have the PCI-e 16x which you do.

Hmmm, your motherboard isn't capable of overclocking too much, so max I'd try would be 4GHz (no VRM heatsinks), so you need to take into account a potential CPU bottleneck in games such as Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2 etc.

i7-3770K if you don't want to upgrade your motherboard + RAM, i7-6700 (or the K version) if upgrading the entire platform.
