I have Ryzen 5 1600 - Galax GTX1060 6GB and GSKILL Ripjaws 3000mhz 1x8GB RAM.My PSU is Akasa Viper 600W 80+ ( I guess its a Turkish brand ).

My first question is : Will ryzen 1600 bottleneck if I upgrade to gtx1070ti @60-75hz 1080p.

Second one is : If I add water cooiling and gtx1070ti will my psu handle this system.

I have 1x 1TB Harddrive maybe I will add a SSD in the future.

The highest usage I saw with my CPU is %50 while my GPU is %99 most of the time at AAA games.I think it should be able to support the GTX1070ti.These results are without overclocking.I have an ASUS AB350M motherboard and If I add water cooling in the future I can OC the CPU.What do you think in this case ?

Thats the same PSU I have.It has 540W 12V output.I will buy a better one if its barely enough because I dont want any risks.Thanks for the answer.

 
I have a 1600 paired with a 1080. Its a great combo and works great. The 1600 is an amazing cpu especially when OCd a bit. You will not experience a bottleneck @75hz gaming.

As someone else suggested consider upgrading your psu to something from a reputable brand and your ram to a dual channel kit-keep in mind that Ryzen likes fast ram so aim for 3000-3200 mhz range.

As I said I have GSKILL RipjawsX 1x 8GB 3000Mhz.In the future I might buy this same one and have 16GB ram in total.I know that my PSU brand in unknown but I trust them in our country.If it says 540W output I believe them.If thats the case will 540W output be enough ?
