i3 6100 and a nvidia 1070 bottleneck 4k

Solution
I need a number.
How much can you spend and what do you need included?
OS? Monitor?
Yes an i3 would technically power a 1070, but framerates would suffer heavily.

I have a minmual budget for 4k honestly cant afford it but I might be able to afford an i3 and a 1070 then next month get the monitor or save some this month and get a 1080 and a quad hd monitor but would the i3 6100 be a problem?

otherwise will buy a 1070 this month and a qhd monitor next month but if I can squek by on an i3 till feb after I have all my hardware for qhd then upgrade processor in feb but would an i3 power a 1070 or 1080

I basicly bought an i3 want to eventualy get into qhd gaming at some point I have windows 10 750watt psu brand new ten year warranty and graphics card I'm undecided on will have to do some research to see if a 1070 be the most more I can spend right now would even be playable at 4k could spend maybe 450 this month and then get monitor next month already I bought a 480 but am havin second thoughts may send back when it gets here depending on what my research concludes on my setup and a 1070

This might give you an idea of what to expect when using a GTX 1070 at various resolutions.

Take note that a Intel Core i7-5960X (8-core) @ 4.0GHz was used for testing.

ok thanks. yea 4k will eventually be the goal but computer had broke and a rash of other real world issues brother passed ect so was just getting foot in the door on a new pc love graphics was thinking of returning the 480 for a 1070 idk yea odd setup but it would do 1080p till I can just buy a new board and chip had a board given to me h170 so only had the chip cost and memory cost and graphics card cost thankfuly but yea will probably go with this and upgrade the two components later. seems a bit backwards but wth if can play in qhd a month sooner the kaby lake be out by that time and get a board and chip then
