Would I bottleneck a 1070 with this spec?

[Freeman]

Looking to upgrade but if all I need is a graphic card without upgrading the rest of the PC then that's what I'll do.
However, if I were to buy a £400+ 1070, would the following hardware bottleneck it at all? All of the components are about 4-5 years old.

• i7 2600K
• 128GB Crucial M4 SSD
• 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair DDR3 XMS3 PC3
• Asus P8Z68-V LX, Intel Z68, S 1155
• 630W PSU, Be Quiet BN182

Thanks!

No, not really, It'll be worth checking the motherboards okay with the gpu and get the latest bio's downloaded if required.

That's pretty good news. And here I was about so spend £1300 on a new PC.

I'm 90% sure the motherboard will be compatible with the 1070.

I'm running a 1070 on an i7 2600k at 4.8ghz on my old MSI P67 GD-55 motherboard, no bottlenecking or other issues to report.

That's awesome to hear! It's going to save me a lot of money. Thanks.

Will be fine, do you have an overclock on the CPU?

Looking at the BIOS updates there actually seems to be some updates for compatibility for newer GPUs: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_LX/HelpDesk_Download/

CPU is stock. I have a custom cooler but I've always had really bad experiences with overclocking.

Is there a dummies manual or decent program I can use to maybe get ~4ghz?

Thanks sieze. I will give it a go tomorrow and keep an eye on stability.
