Building a new computer and aim to play modern games at 1440p and 144hz. Was wondering if the ryzen 1600 would bottleneck the 1080 a lot.

Its not that straight forward, depends. High fps is CPU dependent so if tying to hold a minimum of 144fps in the latest games is where the 7700k shows its muscle over Ryzen. However to achieve 144fos with a GTX1080 @ 1440p would mean dropping a few settings in some modern AAA games or accepting 100+ fps and not aiming for 144.

If happy with 100+ fps then go Ryzen but is you want to push the highest possible fps then go 7700k (well actually see what CoffeeLake brings in a weeks time).

I'd recommend wait for Intel's next gen. For frame pushing Ryzen does not quite excell. There has been a bit of improvement on this area recently though. Couldn't say if this depends on game optimization or better memory support.

There were one or two games tested at Gamer's Nexus where the 1700 (and therefor the 1600 as well) could not quite maintain a high enough frame rate, and lowering of detail was required to keep up framerates.

In short, the 7700K is best for 144 Hz monitors across all games...

So, there was a bottleneck with a few games...and that was with the most powerful desktop pro-sumer card....; do you think framerates would have been slightly better with a slightly weaker GPU? :)
