GTX 970 to 1070

[angelblake]

Hey guys, I'm kind of torn, my reference 970 is pretty loud, can't keep up with a minimal OC, so I'd like to upgrade to a 1070, but which one?

I'm interested in the MSI Armor or the EVGA SC, my aim is basically not reaching 85°C anymore and keeping it as silent as possible.

I got a Samsung 22" 1080p 75hz monitor, is the GTX 1070 able to max out games at 1440p because I'm thinking to switch to one?

The rest of my build:
i5 4670k @ 4.3Ghz
8Gb Crucial Balistix 1866mhz
Gigabyte z97 d3
Ocz 550w 80+

Will my i5 4670k bottleneck the 1070?

The 1070 should handle most stuff at high settings 1440p 60fps perfectly fine, with a 1080 and 7700k I get average 80fps on TW3 maxed, so you're looking at 60fps high.
Budget all up for both monitor and GPU?
No the i5 will not bottleneck, especially if OC'd a bit more.

If I have to upgrade my CPU also, this will be freaking costly, CPU, Ram, Motherboard and a new cooler (if not compatible), so I prefer to upgrade when I feel it's necessary, if I can spare a few bucks, that's good as well.

I can't push the 4670k over the 4.4Ghz threshold unless I put the voltage at 1.3v, toasty at 80°C after 15min with Prime95, I got a Dark Rock Pro 2, beefy af for an air cooling system.

I got around 45fps with my 970 on Mass Effect Andromeda on ultra at 1080p, will I get 60fps on ultra at 1440p with a 1070?

Thanks btw.
