Hi!

I have an i7 3930k @4Ghz (Recently upgraded from i7 3820) and I am going to upgrade from a GTX 970. I wonder if a GTX 1080 would be bottlenecked at 1440p.

I will be using my system mainly for gaming.

And please, understand that I rather go for 4960x and 1080 than going for 1070 as money for that is not an issue.

Reason I bought 3930k was to buy the cheapest 6core i7 for x79.
 
Solution
There will be no bottleneck at all even with a 1080ti, stay with what you have, upgrading even to the latest generation will only net you small FPS gains.
