Will a Gtx 1070 bottleneck an i7-7700k

@GASARAKI : The NVIDIA GTX 1070 will bottleneck the 7700k? I would like to see some documentation on this, because it would be the first time I hear of that happening.

to the OP, unless your 7700K is running 8GHZ, it isn't going to suffer from bottlenecking due to the GTX 1070

Depends on the game and the resolution/frequency of the monitor. An i7-7700k is strong enough to handle any game at any resolution/frequency and not be a limiting factor. The gtx1070, however, is not capable of full detail settings at 60Hz on a 4k monitor in every game, even many 1440p/144Hz games. For those settings you'd need to move upto a gtx1080 or for 4k a gtx1080ti.

So gasaraki is entirely correct, in certain circumstances, the gpu can and will be a limiting factor when faced with monitor extremes. For a standard 1080p/60Hz monitor, it'll be the monitor itself that will be the bottleneck, the i7/1070 both being more than capable of maximum settings and having room to spare.
