I just ordered a EVGA 1050ti SC as an upgrade. I currently have a CPU which is the intel i5 6400 which clocks at just about 2.7 ghz. I want to know if this quad core cpu will bottle neck anything, thanks.
(8gb of ram, 500w power supply, 1TB SDD)

I don’t believe so. I just upgrade my cpu from a i5 4590 to a i7 7700k. Although the difference is a quite huge my cpu usage was always at 100% in games while my gpu (gtx 1070) was at around 60-70 with the i5. The 1070 is also quite the jump from the 1050 which is why I don’t think it will bottleneck.
