I want to upgrade my PC.

Here are the current parts
Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H61M-S2V-B3
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (MSI)
CX600 Corsair

I want to upgrade my GPU to a 1070 GTX will i be able to fit it on my motherboard and will my current CPU bottleneck my 1070 GTX?
 
Solution
The MB says
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
It didn't specify the version... 1.0 -> 2.0 -> 3.0, every time the speed gets doubled, 1070 may be limited because of old version of PCI E x16. It will work despite potentially slower than modern mb. Still a huge boost in performance. Your CPU will definitely bottleneck. You may want to consider the new coffee lake I5 or I7.

1600 has decent stock cooler and can easily oc to past 1600X.
Ryzen loves faster rams
120GB ssd is too small. 250 is better as it can hold OS and >=3 large games. game loading speed is one of the major benefit of SSD.
PSU is not very reliable, I suggest you get a new one in the near future :)
