If you want to go R5, Get what Im getting. A 3600. At 200 dollars it should do you well, But it will Overclock your GPU. That being said a 570 isn't bad, But you should upgrade THAT after you get a new CPU.

The rx 570 will not bottle neck though??

It probably will. It being better then the 2700x which will definitely do that, Yeah it will.

There'll always be a bottleneck somewhere in your system. You typically want your GPU to be the limiting factor.

I agree that a 3600 would be a good upgrade, make sure you update to the latest BIOS just before you swap CPUs.

How do I update bios

Should be a section in your mobo manual about how to do it.
