I just bought a 1080 Ti from newegg and I was wondering if my I5 7500 will bottleneck it or keep it from from performing at its best potential?
Will my CPU work fine with the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC?

Nope, it's going to be fine. The i5-7500 is one of the many 1st-tier CPUs out there, & while we're starting to see more games that perform better with CPUs that have more cores/threads, they're still few in number...& even in those games, the performance of a Core i5 is such that you'd have difficulty really noticing the difference.
I do hope, however, that you're planning on 1440p/144Hz or 4K/60Hz gameplay, as those are the resolutions the GTX 1080Ti is designed for. If you're planning on 1440p/60Hz or 1080p/144Hz, a GTX 1070 would be more than enough; for lower resolutions, a nice GTX 1060 or RX 480/580 is more than sufficient.

Was planning to upgrade to 1440p 144hz or 1080p 240hz monitor from a 1080p 144hz, just having trouble choosing between them.

Look at this before you make your purchase. Nearly none of these titles managed to average even 100fps much less 144 with the 7500. To say it won't be a bottlneck at 1440p or 1080p is false

Alas, the 4c/4t cpu such as the i5's days of being known as 'great for gaming' seem to be in the waning stages...
At 4k/high detail, non-streaming, however, it might still do great, and within 1-2 fps of what anything else would deliver, once the load is shifted to 95% GPU....; at 4k, an i5 might last another year or so, we will have to see how future titles fare with the i5's 4c/4t design...

And in most of those games, an i7 provides little, if any improvement

"Bottlenecking" is only a term that you can use when there's a significant improvement to be found by moving to another CPU. If you don't get that, & especially when you're using a GTX 1080 at 1080p resolutions, it means any lack of performance is due to the way the game is set up. Heck, as far as Ashes of the Singularity is concerned, there is no setup apparently that will let you get anywhere near 100FPS in any situation....well, maybe if you play at 720p & set it on Very Low quality & use the new 12GB GTX Titan X beast...

Actually "bottlenecking" is a term that can be used when any component is holding back the potential of another component, like squeezing more than u possibly can thru a bottleneck. Your pushing too much for something else to handle therefore is bottlenecked and slows down the flow of information. I don't know about cpu's, to tell u if your cpu cant handle what your gpu pushes, but all your components should compliment eachother, you might need to upgrade other things as well like RAM, and not just CPU, Mobo, or PSU, but I'm no PC professional this is what I've picked up since I jumped to PC gaming. Make sure tho you don't spend so much on your tower you can't get a compatible 4k TV lol. I get a great 4k picture but, my gtx card can't sync with an AMD freesync monitor...I do have an i7-7700k, Asus Z270 Mobo and 850w psu, also 16gb DDR4 @2400Mhz would be minimum for 4k gaming I would use. I'm only using. Gtx 1080sc.
