On all the games i've tested this on, my GTX 1070 G1 gaming (slightly overclocked) is always at 99-100% while my i5-6600k is always at 70-80%. Why is this?? Surely the gtx 1070 isn't bottle necking the i5-6600k.

The i5-6600k is at 4.6ghz though.
I was also planning on upgrading my cpu this sale to an i7-7700k, but is that still a good idea?

That is what you wan to see in games that your GPU is 100% and not CPU. If your CPU was at 100% and GPU 70-80% that would mean you have a bottleneck.

Why are you concerned about this? Are you getting bad fps?

All my games heavily stutter.

//Would upgrade to i7-7700k be okay?/worth it?

I am not sure upgrading will help, your OC'ed i5 should be able to handle a GTX1070 with no issues. What resolution are you gaming at?
