Bottleneck with a GTX 1080 TI and R7 1700

So as you can see from my Signature i have the below system although today i stumbled upon a GTX 1080 TI Strix OC edition for 400 pounds brand new in box and was to good a deal to say no to i was originally saving up 500 ish for a RTX 2070 and then upgrading to a Ryzen 4000 series CPU next year.

what sort of FPS bottleneck would i see with my current CPU its stock atm on stock cooler but id happily push it up to 3.6/3.7 if need be?

1700 is primarily an overclockers CPU, but wouldn't be too worried about it personally.

From what I've heard you'll get a small bottleneck with a 1700, but it'll be significantly reduced if you managed a stable 4GHz. It should still be a good experience for gaming and will be really strong at producitvity stuff which can utilize the cores.

Yea I'm hoping to start streaming I can push my cpu to 3.6ghz if that'll help with fps as I'm running stock cooler and want to keep it at low voltage/temp

1700 won't bottleneck you at 3440x1440

**edit I have just seen you are 2560x1080, clock the CPU as much as you can and make sure your ram is 3200/lowest timings stable.

Can't seem to get my memory to 3200 have it at 3000 it crashes my pc even with 1.4v.

3000 is ok, you may find when you change the CPU at a later date that issue goes away as it will likely have a better IMC.

According to this rough calculator https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ there should be hardly any bottlenecking so I wouldn't worry too much. Enjoy the 1080TI, a great GPU.
