Simple test you can do to find out for yourself.

If you decrease your graphics settings and see no or only minor improvement in FPS output (V-Sync, G-Sync, and Freesync disabled) then it means your CPU is holding you back and an improvement will be a net benefit to your gaming.

The other simple thing to ask yourself is this: Does the system perform well enough in everything you want it to do? If so, don't worry about it and wait until a game title comes out that you really want to enjoy at peak performance.

Go to user benchmark and download the software and after you test it check how well is your gpu performing , a good percentage would be between 90-120

the i5-6400 might have issues with minimum FPS in many of the games such as BF1 and BF5, which seem to thrive on up to 8 cores.

The GTX1070 is a capable card, IMO...(I'd be looking for an R5-3600/B450 combo if I had one...!)
