So this is my current setup:

Processor: AMD FX 8350 8 Core 4 GHz
Heatsink: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 evo Aftermarket Cooler
Graphics: Asus GTX 760 OC
RAM: 8 GB HyperX
MOBO: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
Power: EVGA 750 Watt

I was looking at getting a 1080 for the sake of upgrading now and not upgrading for awhile but I was a little uncertain as to what CPU and MOBO I should go with. I obviously can't stay with the 8350 as I do not wish to have ANY bottleneck issues. And I also definitely wanted to go intel. My price range isn't really a concern but I didn't plan on buying anything that would cost a fortune.

What CPU (and MOBO) should I get that wouldn't bottleneck the 1080?

Depends what FPS you want @60 or @120fps. Also depends if you want to use physx and your graphical settings. Like if you think your going to get 70fps fps with witcher max setings on ultra with hairworks on a i5@4k you need to spend 10 minutes of your time and look at the youtube benchmarks. The more detail you give the better answer someone can give you.

Right now someone could say the FX 8350 does not bottleneck the 1080 and they would be correct.
They also could say it does bottleneck the 1080 and that to would be correct.
