Will Ryzen 5 2600 bottleneck GTX 1080?

Hi, I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 with a GTX 1070.  I will be soon getting a GTX 1080 so I would like to ask: will the Ryzen 5 2600 bottleneck the card?  If so, can you give a possible solution?  Is it even worth going from a 1070 to a 1080 if I'm gaming at 4k?  Thanks.

Why are you "upgrading" from 1070 to 1080? the performance gap between the two really isn't that big to justify bothering yourself with not to mention we are 2 weeks from computex which could finally announce new cards, prices are starting to drop on pascal as well...

 

Wanna know what I think? stick to the 1070 after all Ultra Settings sucks:

First of all you should just wait for 1180 to come, and the ryzen processers do not bottleneck any gpu TBH. the only thing you will see is above 144hz not so often. but your cpu will not be a issue

Primary

CPU 1600x OC 4.0G @ 1.4v - MOBO ASROCK fatality B350 gaming K4 - GPU GTX 1080 amp extreme - RAM Adata XPG 8x2 2666 - Storage Samsung 960 Evo and WD blue - MSI 1080p 165hz

Secondary 

CPU 1400 OC 3.9G @ 1.375v - MOBO Gigabyte b350 gaming 3  - GPU GTX 1060 6G Amp - RAM 8x2 2400 - Storage SanDisk 120gb 

HTPC 

CPU FX 6300 4.2 @ 1.400v - MOBO Asus A970 AM3+ - GPU GTX 960 2G - RAM 8x2 1600 - Storage Kingston 240 gb

Former World of Tanks PRO

Don’t even buy the GTX 1080, the GTX 1180 will be coming out in July and will be so much better then the current one. And a 2600 will not bottleneck ether of them, maybe just OC it
