So last year I bought a budget gaming PC build with an AMD FX-6300, 8GB of RAM and the GTX 960. Well recently since the 6300 is barely considered for 'minimum' anymore that I'd upgrade to the AMD FX-8350. But now after that upgrade my games run even worse. GTA V, Fallout 4, Rainbow Six Siege...

My question is, should I get a GTX1070 over the 1060 for 1080p @ 144hz gaming and if yes, will the i5 bottleneck the 1070? A little additional info, my mobo supports the 1070 ( as you may very well suggest ) and the psu has got more than enough juice to power it.
