What res is your monitor?

And if you have a decent cooler strapped to the 3570K - i would try for larger clock to help the GTX 1070 breath more.

Yes it will bottleneck in some games, BF 1 with 64 player battles hates me but it's not that bad although I won't be getting another card with this CPU and I'll certainly be considering the 8700k when released. Other games are decent, you would get slightly higher frames with a 7700k, not enough to warrant the upgrade of RAM/CPU/Mobo just yet however.

So you think my 3570k will be good enough for a while? if not would you suggest upgrading to a cheaper i7 or just wait a while?

If I may interject,

I run a 4790K. It was stock. I was getting 90-110 FPS in BF1 at 1440P. I overclocked the CPU to 4.5Ghz. I now get 110-130FPS in BF1. Same settings. I have a GTX 1080.
ANY i5 will bottleneck a high end GPU in highly multithreaded demanding games. Not all games, but some. i5 is dead. Long live i7/Ryzen. JM2C.

What i7 would you get? would you go all out and get a 7700k or would a cheaper one i7 be any good?
