New build maybe

[7shane7]

Hi all just after some advice really, I've currently got an x58a mobo and i7 950 cpu. I'm looking to get a 1070 gpu as I have the gtx 970 atm and want to get more than 60 fps on 1440p would the motherboard and cpu need changing and end holding back the gpu? Ive just bought a 144hz 1440p monitor and want to make the most of it really, I haven't recieved it yet so I can't test it and just wondered if anyone has a similar setup and how they are getting on? Any good used cpu and mobo combo ideas would be much appreciated if you think I need to upgrade to make the most of it?
Thanks in advance

My view is the i7 is going to hold that 1070 back in some games.

Yeah I did think it I'm just not sure what to go to, I don't mind going used and get something off eBay but just not sure what would be good and not hold that 1070 back without costing a small fortune haha
