Will a i5 4690 (non-k) bottleneck OC GTX 1080 2way SLI?

Its on turbo boost to 3.8ghz

Yes, I believe it will in certain cases. I would recommend upgrading to an i7 4790k if those are your intentions.

It can handle gtx 970 SLI with ease though, what makes you think it will be bottlenecked?

Rossdowling321 :

GTX 1080 is about 30 % better than 980ti and about 25% than sli 970s. Putting them in sli would be massive better than sli 970 by about 85%. SLI 970 and SLI 1080s don't belong in the same conversation.

Bottleneck will be circumstantial, you won't be held back at all by CPU power in all the games you play. I would only suggest SLI GTX 1080 with even more powerful CPU's though I have to say, i7 Haswell or Skylake.

Hmm, well I only need to achieve 60+fps in 4k. (ultra)

The cpu especially at 4k will hold you back. You will be seeing probably 100% cpu usage while being at 70% maybe 60% gpu usage.

Use the same motherboard you have now but upgrade to a 4790k
