Will my Ryzen 1600 bottleneck by GTX 1070 and should I overclock it?

[Abe_R]

Here's the PC I'll be building, is it worth overclocking my cpu (and gpu?) for better gaming performance or am I better off going with the more stable setting it comes as?

Overclock = free performance 

So yes

[jjohnthedon1]

Well it run my sli 980tis to the max once oced to 4ghz

No it won't bottle neck and yes, OC if you know what your doing.

You can go up to a 1080 without worrying.  Anything higher and you should consider upgrading your monitor to 1440 ultrawide.

How much louder does it make the PC? It's the noise levels and lifespan of the components being shortened that are my reservations to doing it. Is it very noticeable and significant?

Also the 1070 probably won't be a bottleneck and wouldn't it be cheaper to get 1 500gb ssd

Overclocking does not harm the CPU unless you have some ridiculous voltage set. Just look up overclocking guides for that CPU on YouTube.

Noise level will probably change a small bit but it's worth and lifespan won't change much at all

Depends on your cooler mate 

aio no difference 

life span who knows ? It has a 3 warrenty

my guess is 1.4v at 4 ghz will reduce lifespan from 15 years to 13

at which point it will be obsolete

Ahh okay if it's that long term then its no problem since I'm aiming for full upgrades every 5 years anyway

Maybe he is putting the ssd in raid for redundency

Actually those were free and I already have those so I'll just use both with the hdd. I originally marked those as bought a few days ago but undid it to see the value of my build. My mistake so sorry about that.

Iv never personally heard of a cpu during from voltage in 5 years

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it could before thermal throttling.

Go for it, I use that combo and games that aren't horribly optimized run fine.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here? CPU and motherboards have safety precautions that generally shut the PC down and reset the CMOS before you can actually do any serious damage.

I know they do now, but I didn't think those existed like 20 years ago.
