I just bought a new PC and my i5-6600K is almost 100% when I play Overwatch while my GPU (EVGA GTX 1070 FTW) usage is just about 40%.


So my PC is a bottleneck now or what?

Is this a bad thing? Should I try to overclock my CPU?
 
Solution
Overwatch isn't a very GPU demanding game, more CPU based.

Unless you have something else using up your CPU, 1070 wouldn't need to be anywhere near max for it.
