Howdy, guys! I've decided to upgrade my GTX 960 with an GTX 1070 but I heard somehow that AMD FX-6350 will bottleneck with that GPU! Should I upgrade my CPU with an Intel i5-6600K?! Thanks! :)

Although you will get bottle-necked in quite a few titles..I still don't see an issue running both of them together.

Like, 13thmonkey said, you would have to upgrade the rest of your components to suit the i5 6600k.

Will you get better frames and stabler game play with the Intel CPU? More than likely. Is it worth it? That depends on your budget and if you feel that your experience playing games right now isn't what you want.

If you want to alleviate the bottle-neck, I suggest overclocking your CPU if the motherboard is of high quality.

We can't decide what's worth it, it might release an extra 10% out of the card, more likely it'd raise the minimum frame rate by quite a lot. But is the money that this would cost pocket change for you, or 6 months worth of savings? Are you gaming 4+hours a day and want a better experience, or do you just pop on for a few hours each weekend?
