Will the 2400g bottleneck m 1070?

It looks like a good build to me. Not sure of your budget, but 8gb of RAM will hold you back in a few games, but not too many. Given RAM prices, it may be best to roll with 8gb and upgrade later. But since you are building a high end rig, the extra RAM is all your missing.

As for the 8600k and 8700, they are both excellent CPUs. And so is the 2600x. The Intel CPUs have a slight lead in gaming, but it is very small. Small enough that for real world applications, you won’t see a difference. I think the 2600x has good value at its price point and is close enough to the 8600k in gaming to make it a good buy. But with these CPUs, you are choosing between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. So you can’t really go wrong.

It will in some CPU heavy games. The 2400g also only has 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0. While for midrange cards, it is not an issue, but for a 1070 there will be some loss due to lane saturation. If you are playing at 1440p the bottleneck will be less.

Going with a 1606 6gb will be a better and more economical pairing, especially at 1080p.

Yeah, that will be a lot better. You just moved from a Camry to a Cadillac.

You might want to change your RAM though. For a new platform and given the issues with compatibility of Ryzen and RAM, I would choose a big name brand like Gskill.

2133 ram speed heavily cripples the ryzen process and you will see a performance difference, and dual channel memory helps. I also already have the 1070. What about team or adata , does this work better? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VC8j4D/adata-xpg-gammix-d10-8gb-2-x-4gb-ddr4-3000-memory-ax4u3000w4g16-dbg or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dVYLrH/team-t-force-delta-rgb-8gb-2-x-4gb-ddr4-3000-memory-tf3d48g3000hc16cdc01 or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4Jbkcf/gskill-memory-f43000c15d8grbb

bottlenecks are fiction.
It comes to a simple question - how much FPS you want to get.
CPU should be able to do that many "CPU frames"
GPU should be able to do that many "GPU frames" at required resolution and settings.
For example GTX 1080Ti can "bottleneck" 2200G at 4K max settings.
but in general, 2600X is much better idea for a gaming PC regardless of the GPU.

Sorry, I thought that I filtered to 3200mhz. My bad, I must of hit the wrong button on the filter. You are right, you should be looking at 3200mhz speed for Ryzen. As far as dual channel, the board is a dual channel board, running two sticks in the board will run the memory in dual channel.

I dont have a problem with Team or Adata, but Ryzen has real RAM compatibility issues. Especially the first generation Ryzen CPUs. I chose GSkill becuase they seem to have the most compatibility on motherboard QVL. So go for Team or Adata, but check your motherboard QVL to make sure the models your are getting are supported.

I dont know what your budget it looking like, but the second generation Ryzen CPUs seem to have solved a lot of the RAM compatibility issues. So it may be worth a look. Then there is always the 8400. The 8400 is a really good mid range gaming CPU and Intel does not have the same RAM issues that AMD does.
