Hey, i am going to build a new Gaming PC, so i wanted to ask a couple of questions and ser if you guys can approve this rig.

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K
Mother Board: ASUS B85M-E/BR
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
PSU: Corsair CX-600W
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070

So, my questions are: Does that PSU have enough voltage to support the GTX 1070? Is there any chance of the CPU bottleneck the GPU? Is the motherboard going to support the full potential of the GPU? Are these settings good or should i change something? I pretend to use this PC for gaming and some other stuff, also, i'm going to use this with 1080p 60hz resolution. (Sorry if i misspelled something)

I would honestly go for a slightly higher tier motherboard, since you're buying an unlocked CPU I'm guessing you intend to overclock it.
With the ASUS B85M-E you'll be very limited when it comes to overclocking your CPU.
(Remember to buy a good CPU cooler if you intend to overclock)

Otherwise I can't really fault you on anything, you'll have enough juice with that PSU (PSU calculators are great for finding out what you need), however its not a component I'd cheap out on.
Getting a good PSU is important, and perhaps a modular one too.

No, the CPU wont bottleneck the GPU, just make sure you're buying the right chipset and that your ram is the correct type.

Other than that, I cant really fault you for anything
