I currently have 1060 3gb and want to buy i7-10700k. I know that this GPU is bottleneck for CPU.
I play Fortnite competitively on low settings, so, there is not that much stress on GPU. Fortnite is more CPU reliable. And I dont plan to switch to any game in future, and if I will play other games, it'll be something competitive where i'll use the lowest settings anyways.
  1. Is it necessary to buy a new GPU taking in consideration everything written below?
  2. How much watts do I need for my build if I'll have 1060?

Check out the Ryzen 5000 series while you're at it

It's not "necessary" but it is recommended. If you have just a 1060 550W is enough. Anything RTX 2060S or above needs 650W
