I'm still rocking the i3570k running at 4.4ghz.

I'm planning on upgrading to ryzen 3000 soon, but for now my 3570k will have to do.

Gaming at 2560x1440 144hz.

How much performance increase should I expect going from rx 580 8gb to the 5700xt? Am I too cpu bottlenecked?

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.

an i7 lga1155 wont cut it
Really?

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
