I don't think you'll feel bottlenecked too hard at 1440p, that res is still pretty demanding on a GPU. Now, you might feel the pinch when reaching for over 100 frames, but I'm sure you'll do well at 60-90, depending on the title.
a 3570k is a quad core many games will just perform worse due to lower core/thread count, so get an Ryzen 3600 or i7 9700k if possible, even an i7 lga1155 wont cut it
I had an i7-2600k with dual 1070s, I mean, I'm sure there was a bottleneck to some degree but only slight if at all.
I'd suggest OP has two options - if they want to save money, they can slot in the best 1155 i7, which is probably 2700k Sandy or 3770k Ivy. But ultimately, better to spend a little extra and futureproof. Personally I switched to Ryzen 7 1700. I bought new but it would make a decent used option for the price.
You are much more GPU bound at 1440p than CPU bound. If your playing 1080p that's a different scenario. If you planning to get better frames at this moment to save towards a replacement system, you will be very well off on a 5700xt as a worth upgrade if your playing 1440p. Yeah you will be CPU bottlenecked in alot of newer titles but you will still have a very large fps gain with the new GPU. Newer CPU will not provide that much of a gain compared to the GPU. I would go the 5700xt route my friend
