Other choices to evaluate are on the table. If the Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) can be found at a reduced cost, it should also be weighed in the decision.

1600AF tends to appear at affordable prices as well and offers improved performance.

Your GTX 1070 should handle most tasks, but check if other components are limiting performance.

I reviewed USD and Canadian prices on pcpartpicker.com and noticed the rates are quite affordable. It seems like a solid upgrade at a reasonable cost. You might be able to sell your existing CPU and recoup most of your investment. The right choice depends on your gaming needs and performance goals, but a 1070 paired with a 2600 looks like a balanced option (provided your RAM is fast enough).
