Will it bottleneck it?

It a great budget combo for 1080p 60Hz. Yes in certain games at certain times you will get a bottleneck but I wouldn't worry about it. The only game that I know you won't get a good experience from is BF1 multiplayer, that game bottlenecks on i5 6600.

No, that's a good pairing. Upgrade to the 6600 i5 before upgrading to the 1070, years down the road.

Disagree with above on both points.
Even the older and weaker i3 4130 runs Fallout 4 at acceptable fps, yes its bottlenecking but it still plays well. This game is fairly cpu heavy http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/2182-fallout-4-cpu-benchmark-huge-performance-difference
As for getting a 1060 then to spend on a 1070 later, that's just a major expense for not enough gain. I'm guessing as this is a budget build this will be used with a 1080p or less monitor which the 1060 can run all games at very high settings.
For a budget gaming build the 6100 & 1060 are a frequently recommended pairing. Obviously an i5 is better but if budget doesn't allow for then the i3 is acceptable.
