Firstly every system will bottleneck in certain conditions. The 1050 is capable of playing all modern AAA games @ 1080p. Your cpu is well under the minimum spec for modern AAA games so regardless of which gpu you choose it's performance will be poor in those games. In older and less cup demanding games those 2 should work well together.

That cpu would choke on any modern AAA cpu heavy game but the gpu is fine. That cpu is well under the minimum spec for most/all modern AAA games. It doesn't matter what gpu you pair with it, it is going to struggle in those games.

My 4670k @ 4.3 can only just hold 60fps in COD WWII, PC2 and sees drops into the 50's in BF1.

You need to check cpu compatibility for your motherboard but assuming its ok the i7 3770. Going to an i5 is enough of an upgrade to make it worthwhile. However the 3770 is still old and in games that benefit from strong single core performance it may still hold you back a little. You should ask yourself if now is the right time to move to a modern platform instead of putting money into such an old platform.

Then don't change the cpu, for those low end games you should be good. If you ever want to run modern AAA games you will need to seriously consider some form of upgrade be it 3770 or a modern platform.

Ok if you don't have the i3 already then I wouldn't buy it, get at least a 4 core i5. The 3570 or 3770 would be my choices.

Thought you said you had a i3-3220. Damn you're confusing me.

Your gpu really deserves a true 4 core cpu which will help run modern games at decent fps. I would keep saving until you can get the i5.
