I have an i5 6400 and an r9 290. I've seen that they are equally bottlenecking if i upgrade to a GTX 1070 or an i7 6700K. Which of these should I upgrade first?
What to upgrade first?

Looks like a solid upgrade. I would recommend you go for the graphics card first. You might be happy with the performance and change your mind on upgrading the CPU until the near future. Keep in mind GPU prices are currently higher than usual. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3449306/explanation-current-increase-gpu-prices-read.html . Why are you buying the 6700k and not the 7700k??

its a 1080 monitor, i have 2 four gb sticks of 2133 MHz ram and if I was to get the 1070 I would buy it from Nvidia which as far I know has not changed in price.

I saw that the R9 290 isn't that much worse than a 1060 6gb so I thought it would be better to get the CPU and I would get a 1070 to future proof.
