What would happen if I use a gtx 1070 and 8gb of ram

[ilenny2005]

I currently have a gtx 1050 ti that is used with 8gb. I wanted to upgrade my gpu to a gtx 1070 and would wonder what would go wrong with 8gb of ram used with that

Nothing will happen and 1070 can easy play on your computer and says on website Minimum Recommended PSU 500 W and the ram off 8gb is still good for gaming! and the Only thing will happen your gaming might improve 4GB to 8GB Is Good And Hope that your games will run even more better!

What will happen is you'll have a much more powerful GPU. I'm not sure what your concern is.

I was thinking it would bottleneck

Would on the game and what resolution/settings you're playing at.

Fortnite/Ghost recon wild lands/overwatch
1080p

At 1080p yes you will probably have some bottlenecking, especially in games that aren't very graphically intense (e.g. overwatch). 1070 is typically overkill for 1080p unless you have a high refresh rate monitor.

My monitor is 144 Hz and 1ms delay

Then yes, you will likely have some bottlenecking. High fps gaming typically takes a pretty strong CPU. There's not necessarily anything 'wrong' with a CPU bottleneck (there'll always be a bottleneck somewhere in the system), it just means you won't necessarily be able to take full advantage of the power of the 1070 in some cases.
