i'm considering buying a GTX 1070 Strix, and i need help

Fensbo

if i buy a gtx 1070 Strix will my pc run fast, even though i have pretty bad
specs, like my cpu and stuff.
basically what i mean is, is the GPU just what does all the work or do i
need to buy a better CPU to get my pc running good?

I currently have in my pc: GeforceGTX 750 TI, 16 GB RAM, INTEL i5-4460 3.20
GHz
i don't know if there is any thing more you need to know.

If you have the money you can get a Xeon e3 1226 v3 for like 100 bucks on ebay.  It performs closer to a 4770, and would not bottleneck that card.  But, that's if you're worried about that.

first of all thanks for helping, and second how bad is a INTEL i5-4460 3.20
GHz can it bottleneck the GTX 1070 strix

because in Denmark the Xeon e3 1226 v3 cost about 309 Dollars

Yes, that i5 will hold you back in few games at 1080p

Still, for 309$, I would go for it. You will still see a huge improvement over 750ti.
