Hello everyone, quick question: My PC has an Intel quad-core i5 3570k CPU 3.4ghz, with a nvidia 660 2gb vram GPU .. I'd like to upgrade to a nvidia 1060 or maybe even a 1070. Would my current CPU be sufficient for this GPU upgrade? If not, would you care to elaborate as to why? Thank you!
Upgrading my GPU, will my old CPU be enough?

yes, you'll do fine with a 1060 
It's a good match to either, the i5 is still a very capable gaming CPU. I think you'll be fine for a while yet.
Somewhere down the track a game may come out that won't run acceptably on an i5 but I don't think we have reached that point yet.
