I plan to buy a 1070 in the near future. Will my E3-1241 v3 bottleneck it? Ty

Depends on the game but a 1231 v3 is a quad core with 8 threads so I wouldn't see much of a bottleneck. Except some super duper CPU intensive game

It's a quad core,really any quad core with a good graphics card should play with 1080p no problem.

1080p 60hz?  If 60hz, then your display is the bottleneck, not CPU.

If you see a bottleneck, it's because your CPU only letting your 1070 render 150fps when it could push, say, 180fps at 1080p.  If this bothers you, 1) your eyesight should be documented in medical journals, 2) consider upgrading to 1440p to really let the 1070 shine.
