Please help me on upgrade path

[midas.1107]

I'm using i5 6600 pair with gtx 960 4gb now, atm i have 700$ to upgrade, i'm thinking about gtx 1070ti but the price is insane and so hard to find one thanks for mining, plus i affraid my i5 6600 will bottleneck gtx 1070ti at 1080p, then i'm thinking about i7 8700 and new motherboard, keep my gtx 960 to 2 or 3 months for 1070ti, so which one is a good path for me to go? My purpose is gaming, some times editing and encoding, thanks you all

What games are you playing? The genre of the game will do at the least. (First person shooter, simulation game, etc)

All genre but not simulation and sport, open world is my favourite.

Open world games take a big toll on gpus, but the cpu can’t bottleneck it. Go with the cpu and mobo (prob ram too), then gpu when prices go down.

A 1070 GTX will not be bottlenecked by a i5 6600. Anything more powerful than a GTX 1070 is a waste of money for 1080p. Even a 1080 GTX would only be lightly bottlenecked by a i5 6600. You'll be fine with any of these 3 cards; 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080. I recommend the GTX 1070 and it will cost less.

Well, I guess I was going with the futureproofing route, but ya, I guess you could do that.
