Gaming PC Bottleneck?
A quick question: Will an Intel i7 8700k and a 2-way 1070 setup be a bottleneck, and if so, by how much?

There is always a bottleneck on a PC, it's simply the part that has the biggest load on it. It doesn't mean the computer is being slowed down by one part, a lot of people mis-use the term that way.
I doubt there is a game out there that would really max out that CPU except for old single threaded ones that only use one CPU core.
Last I checked there isn't a lot of benefit from running two GPUs, and only some games support it. I'm sure the support is getting better these days though.
So I'd suspect if anything was to be maxed out, it would be the GPUs, but tweaking down graphics settings a bit should be fine to keep your FPS up.

You mean two GTX 1070 cards in SLI?
No, but there is always a bottleneck.
The real bottleneck here is developers doing a crappy job of optimizing games for SLI. You'd be lucky to find a game that will see a 70% performance increase from the 2nd card. There are still a lot of games that work with SLI but it's not the value option it used to be. You would be much better off getting your hands on a GTX 1080ti or RTX 2080.
