Im pretty sure i should be ok to just upgrade my gpu first and see what happens

I currently have an i5 2500k at 4.5 with an azrock z68 or something motherboard

Im debating upgrading my 970 to a 1070 but now wondering if i will see any negative impact in regards to bottlenecking etc? ( a term, if im honest, that i dont know much about)

Im fairly certain its ok to just go gpu first as the other bits tend to hold up quite well but im just wondering
 
Hi thanks for the advice! My monitor is a 25" dell 1440p cant remember the name but quite a popular one

May just go for the 1070 then! The 2500k has proven a beast :D
