Need help please finding a compatible CPU with the A68HM GRENADE that wont bottleneck the GTX 1070? If you have any suggestions or know the perfect combo please help me. Thank you

There isn't one. That's an FM2+ socket and the fastest CPU it supports will still bottleneck a GTX 1070.

There is no CPU in existence that will never bottleneck the gtx 1070. It all depends on the sceneario (game, resolution, graphical settings...). https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/214851-on-cpugpu-bottlenecking-in-games

Also, bottlenecking is pointless to worry about when choosing parts. Just choose a CPU that can perform up to your FPS goals (loner ally your monitors refresh rate), and a gpu that can perform the same FPS, with your desired graphical settings/resolution.

For example, if you plan to play older games for 60+ FPS, some CPUs on that platform can definitely manage that. Or maybe you just want 40 FPS on some more modern which some of those CPUs can do.

You need to specify the games you play, your exact monitor, and intended/desired graphical settings.

What is your current CPU? An Athlon X4 880K is the fastest CPU you can get, but it's not much faster than the cheaper 860K. Either one would still bottleneck the GTX 1070. You would have been just as well off with a GTX 1060.
