Hi Hutchie91
An i5 6600k won't bottleneck the ROG Strix 1070.
I'm using an i5-6700k overclocked to 4.75GHz and my ROG Strix 1070 overclocked, with crysis 3 at 1440p ultra settings no AA for the most part is 50-60 FPS.
If you're using high amounts of AA try backing it down to say x4, x2 or off, do a little test with each this should improve your frames per second. I like to set all the game settings to ultra then add a little AA if it allows.
Make sure turbo is enabled in the bios, if by chance you're using real temp open it and click settings, make sure "Disable Turbo" is unchecked. Your cpu cooler seems like a pretty good one with 6 heat pipes, you could try running all 4 cores at 4.0GHz and see where temps are.

I would not think that CPU will "bottleneck" that GPU either...
I'd try BIOS At defaults and GPU at defaults too. Sometimes the ragged edge of OCing, while it does not crash gives worse performance than backing off a bit...
Temps of GPU and CPU OK?

Yeah it should be fine and your temps are great too !
The only game that was faster was crysis 3 and cryengine 3 is one of the few game engines that can utilize 8 threads, hopefully we'll see more game engines doing this in the near future.
Is your cpu back to normal after resetting to defaults?
