Planning to get RTX 2070 will it work fine with my setup, can upgrade the psu if needed.

Here's my setup
CPU: i7 4790 non k
Mobo: Gigabyte H97M D3H
Ram: 2 x 8GB RAM (Corsair Vengence 1600mhz)
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 550W
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970

I wanna buy the new RTX 2070 but i saw some bottleneck calculator it suggests that it might have heavy bottleneck also check the forums some people say RTX 2070 won't well with i7 4790 non k. So please help me out here. Thanks

until a few weeks ago I was using an i7 950 (1st gen) along with my GTX1080 to game at max settings (1080p) on pretty much every game (and high settings on most VR games too). As guanyu210379 says, some games need CPU more than others and it might affect things other than framerate (pop in distance etc) so your processor should be just fine.

2070 is about equal to 1070ti and 1080.
For 1080p with 144/165 FPS in mind, or even higher, I7 4790 can be a bottleneck under certain cases.
For most cases, I7 4790 should be still ok.

Games are written differently, some are more cpu dependent then others.
There can be no generalization about the bottlenecking.

I am still on E3-1231V3 (I7 4770 without iGPU) and I am alo thinking on going for the upgrade, but, I wanna wait until the next Ryzen is already available.

so i guess my cpu should work fine with RTX 2070 for most cases right? i just need most games running at 60 fps high settings.
