Is there any bottleneck between the cpu and the gpu and is a 500w power supply fine?

[AwesomeAldrin24]

Here's what I want:
I-5 6500
Gtx 1070ti
ASUS H110M-A
Gskill 2x4gb ddr4 RAM
500gb ssd
2x 150gb hdds
Intel stock cooler
A DVD drive
A rosewill micro atx case

Why would you WANT that CPU and Motherboard? Its sorely outdated; newer i3 are all 4-Core now, and i5 are 6-Core

Pairing an i5-6500 + GTX 1070 (even non Ti) would be a huge mistake.
Another mistake is less than 16GB RAM.

A DVD Drive? What for...

OP supposedly already owns everything except for the GPU, so I'm going to assume that this is an older budget build or prebuilt.

A 1070ti would be too much for the rest of that system, what resolution are you gaming at?

Not really if you aren't going overclock, the partners are forbidden from tweaking the cards to keep them neutered, but overclocking the card us crazy easy to do and completely safe, just grab MSI afterburner and spend an hour dialing in the clock speed and you have a cut price 1080, there are hundreds of guides for how to overclock your gpu and unless you start messing with custom bios and power modding the GPU it's nearly impossible to actually damage it.

But I need watercooling to overclock the gpu so it doesn't overheat, right?

No you don't, as long as you aren't using the MSI armor version of the card, it is a specific model MSI makes of nearly all the 10 series cards,it just has a very basic cheap cooler on it to save cost, but a very good PCB which makes it perfect for watercooling, any other model of 1070ti will not have this issue and are all well up to the job of being overclocked, hell, the 1070ti is practically made to be overclocked by the user as it is the only card nvidia won't let manufacturers factory overclock as it's so da!n close to the 1080 when you do, hell, overclocked it is faster than a stock 1080!

GPUs with 2 or 3 Fans should basically run under its max operating temp regardless how much your OC it. You don't "need" liquid cooling for any PC, period.

There are exceptions, but motha is basically right.

1080p

Lol no, for 1080p the gtx 1050 ti or 1060 6gd5 is your goal.

Better RX580 4GB or GTX 1060 6GB.
1050Ti is too weak.

[Monk]

The best you can afford should be your goal to be honest, and a 1070ti should allow maxed setting for a while at 1080p 60 where as the lower cards won't, a 1060, while great is basically the same performance as a 980 with more Vram, while the 1070ti when overclocked is basically a 1080 which is pretty much double the performance of a 980.
I replaced my 980's as I was needing to turn settings down in some games (along with vram) admittedly that was at 1440p, but the issue will begin to appear before long on the lower cards at 1080p also and the op can clearly afford a 1070ti, so why recommend cards vastly weaker?

[upcoast]

For a 1080p gaming I settled on a GTX1070.

Ps, the GTX1050ti is a flat out laugh and the GTX1060 6GB doesn't cover "ALL" games.

[DonJuanDoja]

1060 6GB will do MOST games really well at 1080p. Be aware there are games coming out now that it will struggle to keep @60FPS unless you start dialing back the ultra/high settings.

AC: Origins was the first game I've tried since upgrading that actually fell under 60fps on ultra/high mixed settings. Had plenty of VRAM and CPU wasn't barely working, so pretty sure that was the GPU. Patches might fix it but they really have some crazy settings in that game plus it's own in game performance monitor... it called mine "Stable" but I could see there was some kind of "Good" or "Smooth" type rating that I wasn't hitting due to 50-60fps fluctuations. Still going to tweak it some and probably get 60 smooth, patches etc should improve it. Just sayin' 1060 6GB isn't exactly PERFECT for all 1080p but it is pretty close. Wouldn't hurt to have a little extra over-kill.
