Would my i5 processor bottle neck if I play at 1440P

Hi guys,

Before I explain here are my system specs:
Intel i5 4670 (No K)
16GB GDDR3 1866MHz
2 x GTX 970's
650W PSU + 400W PSU
I run all my games from my Samsung 850 Evo SSD

I currently game at 1080P, all the settings cranked up and my system runs smooth and hovers around the 130FPS mark on average. I am considering getting a 1440P 165Hz Panel (Acer Predator XB271HU) and I was just wondering, the CPU will be used a bit more due to the higher pixel count and all, but would my system bottle neck by jumping up to 1440P. If so is it worth upgrading my CPU.

Thanks, in advance, for anyone that helps me out on this one.
