Hi, want to ask whether my system will bottleneck?

specs:
Core i5 8400
evga rtx 2070 xc ultra
16gb ddr4 2400mhz ram (8x2)
860 evo 1TB
650W psu
1080p 75hz display

I want to know, if any component will be bottlenecked by other components.
Thanks in Advance
 
Solution
At 1080p your cpu will be the limiting factor when paired with a 2070 but with a 75Hz monitor it doesn’t matter, you will get more than 75fps. Actually the limiting factor is your monitor, you could happily run a 1080p 144Hz or 1440p 144Hz, the cpu will hold you back at 1080p 144Hz but probably not enough to worry about it.

Yes that’s kind of how I felt I would bump the processor up a little bit if you have problems after you get your GPU

Yes, do you think i7 8700 would suffice? Overclocking's not my thing, so I'll stick to Non-K chips.
You could probably get away with even an i5 8600k, it's a powerhouse of a chip and wouldn't bottleneck your rig in this case. (The K skew also has a higher base and boost clock than it's non K skew, without overclocking.)
