There won’t be any bottlenecks in current games, future games that use more cores might but you’ll be set for a while. No PCIE bottlenecks even if you have a b450 board since pcie 3.0 won’t be fully saturated by a 3070.

The 3600 will definitely be a bottleneck for the 3070. The 3070 is on par with a 2080ti. I recently upgraded from a R5 3600 to a Ryzen 3800xt and noticed a ~28% increase in fps at 1080p and 1440p. Most benchmark videos use a 9900k or 10900k to eliminate the CPU as the bottleneck. Those are significantly faster in gaming workloads than even a 3800xt.

There will not be a bottleneck, but a slight performance hit due to your cpu using PCIE Gen 3.0 whereas this GPU is running on PCIE 4.0, but it shouldn't be more than 8%. I think that your cpu will be fine
