Hey guys. I'm planning on buying the 2600x/8600k and I was wondering if it would be better to buy a new monitor. So will fx 9370 bottleneck my gtx 1070 on 1440p 144hz? Thanks in advance.

FX chips are in the range of 2nd to 3rd gen I5's even when you overclock the **** out of them. 1440p 144hz is a pretty tough resolution to run on newer hardware much less something that is 5 years old and has nearly a 45% weaker IPC.

Not entirely true, increasing the resolution decreases FPS since a CPU can only deliver those pre-rendered frames according to it's IPC and thread count. When your playing 144hz you're expecting 144 FPS are you not? FX chips struggle with 1080p 60fps 5 years ago and held back a 1070 GTX when it was released what do you expect would happen now?
