Stuck on choosing a CPU for gaming

[Sammy_8]

So basically, Right now I have an i5-4690 and right now it is bottlenecking my GTX 1070. I am stuck between choosing a Ryzen 5 1600, i7-4790k, i7-7700k. I can upgrade to the 4790k easily because it is the same socket but I would want to buy a new mobo so I can overclock. I would use this PC for gaming, want to prepare it for Destiny 2, and having a couple things open in the background like Discord and google chrome. Money is not really a concern but would rather spend less and get a lot more out of a CPU. Thanks everyone!

Seriously? The Haswell i5 is bottlenecking your 1070? What screen rez are you using? My i5-7600 doesn't bottleneck my 1070 (at 1080p). And my Ryzen 5 1600X is about equal to the i5-7600 in games. So you'd want to probably go with the i7-4790 or 4790K if you want to keep from the hassle of installing a new board and possibly a clean install of the OS.
