8600k (oc'ed) or 8700

Solved by Princess Luna,
i7 8700 will not bottleneck a 1070 in fact a i7 8700 does not bottleneck even a 1080 Ti still, the i5 8600k at 5ghz will hardly if at all give more "gaming performance" as the i7 is perfectly capable of maxing out your GPU and you mentioned something about rendering and 3d modeling those things will benefit a bit more from the Hyper-Threading than the extra 500mhz frequency.
If you want to overclock get the i7 8700K the i5 8600K in my opinion is not worth it even for a gaming specific rig when the i7 8700 already has such a strong clock boost of 4.3ghz ~4.4ghz if you mess around and costs the same if not cheaper when we count in for the cheaper motherboard and cooling.
