I have a i5 4670k and want to upgrade my GTX 1060 to a rtx 2070! I am new to computer components and simpler answer would be amazing my PC specs will be below!


18 gb ddr3 ram
Intel i5 4670k CPU
GTX 1060 graphics card
500 gb SSD
500gb hard drive
Msi z87 gd65 mobo
Tr2 600w power supply

I didn't know what was all relevant so I put most of it there, any help would be appreciated!
 
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Whether CPU X will bottleneck GPU Y (or vice-vesa) varies on a game-by-game and even scene-by-scene basis. One practically always bottlenecks the other unless you enable vsync and the combination is able to sustain frame rates beyond that, in which case vsync is the bottleneck.

The real question is whether the combination will meet your performance expectations in the games and detail levels you want to play at, which varies on a game-by-game and person-by-person basis. If the bottleneck happens beyond that, then it doesn't matter much.
