A potential constraint.
I recently upgraded my GTX 960 to a GTX 1070 Ti and am experiencing stuttering in games. I suspect a CPU bottleneck, as my processor is an i5-7600k.
The 7600k is better in older, lower threaded titles. In modern titles, pure quad core gaming is dead, and even the original R5 1600 is better in those titles. The 1600AF is nearly the same as an R5 2600. These games want more cores/threads than a 7600k can provide. As a side note, did you run DDU to uninstall your Nvidia drivers and install the latest for your current card?

It is a fairly balanced setup. However stuttering isn't a factor of a bottleneck. I had stuttering and fixed it by setting Max Ram to 3200mhz as it was locked to 2333mhz. It could be bad drivers, bad video setting combination, monitor etc.

Many modern games fully utilize a quad-core processor, resulting in performance that feels like stuttering. Quad-core/thread CPUs are generally considered a minimum for running modern AAA games, with hexa-core processors being more suitable. You are likely playing at 1080p resolution, assuming your question is about gaming performance.
My plan is to run games at 1080p ultra with a frame rate of 60fps, but I’m experiencing stuttering issues in titles such as Final Fantasy XV, The Division 2 and The Outer Worlds. Conversely, games like Wolfenstein 2 and Rainbow Six Siege operate flawlessly at maximum settings without any stutter.
