I currently have a 3770K clocked @ 4.5.

I'm looking to buy a GPU to best match my CPU - avoiding one bottle-necking the other.

I plan to game primarily at 1440p, but don't mind lowering to 1080p for the odd title.

With the older architecture and DDR3 I don't want to dump a load of money on a 1080 only to find my system bottlenecks it.

Would a 1060 or 1070 be a better match?

Thanks
