Hi! i was thinking of upgrading from a 2600k and a rx 480 running with 3440x1440p to an i5 7600k and 1070 gaming x, i was wondering if they would bottleneck eachother during gaming as i use 3440x1440p resolution.

The i5 wipes the floor with the Ryzen, especially since it's easily OC at 5Ghz if you get a decent chip(it's also cheaper or at the same price usually). Stop trying to push other gear down his throat. In gaming the i5 7600k is a very good CPU and no it will not bottleneck anything.
But also if your monitor has more than 60Hz you will have a small stutter on very demanding games at that resolution (if you have this issue set your Adapter setting to 60Hz). Besides those very demanding games you should run very smoothly on most games.

Also from a video I just saw, the 7600k isn't way better than the 2600k but for a good cooler you can probably OC it and get double the performance gap in games. (like 20 fps more instead of 10)

I would personally get a R6 ryzen cpu over the 7600k, better value in my opinion. But no a 7600k should not bottleneck a 1070 at that resolution, 3440x1440 is quite a lot of pixels for the gpu to push so the gpu should be the bottleneck in pretty much any game out right now.

Who is trying to push gear down anyone's throat? I thought I politely rendered my opinion. At 3440x1440 there will be absolutely no difference between a r6 ryzen cpu and a 7600k in the vast majority of games. Even at 1080p the 7600k does not "wipe the floor" with an r6 ryzen cpu.

Wouldn't entertain a kaby lake i5 build now when coffee lake is coming with 6 core i5s & 4 core i3's.

Building now ryzen is a better option by far IMO , unless you're running 144htz (which at that res I massively doubt it) then there is NO performance difference between a ryzen 1600 & a 7600k , & if there is any miniscule one it'll be in the ryzens favour.

I would be more inclined to drop a 1080 in with your current i7 & see how it goes
