Hi , I have a GTX 960 with a Athlon II X4 860k and was thinking of upgrading motherboard to fit the new cpu and upgrade my cpu to a i5 760 and getting a second GTX 960 would I be able to run 2 GTX 960's in SLI with this motherboard or would I have a dramatic bottleneck thanks
Would there be a bottle neck with SLI GTX 960 and Intel Core i5 760

Might get a bit of a bottleneck with just a single card, SLI would really be bottlenecked by the 760

The i5 760 is rather old, and wouldn't really be much faster than your current Athlon. SLI would be a pretty big bottleneck on such an old CPU, a single GTX 960, maybe a 970 if you play more CPU light titles would be as high as I would go on that CPU. I would say save up more money and move to a more modern Intel platform, get an i5 6500 or at the very least an i3 6100, rather than buy a 6 year old CPU used.
