I'm debating whether to purchase the 5070 or the 5070ti for both gaming and streaming on my setup. I've got an Intel Core i7 10700KF CPU, which can turbo boost to 5.10GHz, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a 750W power supply. I'm concerned about bottlenecking; will getting the 5070ti be a waste if my CPU holds it back? I'd also appreciate any additional thoughts on the 5070 versus 5070ti.

Yes, every PC has some level of bottlenecking, but in your case, I think you’ll mainly be CPU limited in many games depending on your resolution and a few other variables. While there will be some bottleneck, it's not necessarily going to ruin your experience. Just keep that in mind!
Thanks for the insight! So should I expect the GPU to still perform well, or will it be significantly held back?
