So i bought at gtx 1080 ti. And i'm using it with a i7-4770k cpu. Playing at 1080p (don't hate me) I think my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu. I opened Skyrim because i only get 55 fps (with an enb) and opened up hwmonitor. From what i understand, if my cpu was bottlenecking my gpu, the cpu should be at 100% while my gpu wouldn't be able to get to 100%. But this is how it looked when i opened up skyrim. Neither my cpu or my gpu were at 100% and Skyrim still wouldn't go past 55-60 fps (with fps limit turned off)

Any CPU on the market will bottleneck somewhat a gtx 1080 ti at 1080p but that is not the cause of your apparently low fps (Your CPU is still pretty strong- you should OC it anyway if you haven't done so).
From personal experience, ENB's (+mods) are most of the time poorly optimized (or you have to optimize partly yourself)-speaking about Skyrim in particular. Also, if your monitor is 60Hz you may get dips below 60 sometimes even if it usually stays at 60 (that is to be expected with ENB's). Also, Skyrim's engine is actually the same (with a few changes) old and tired Creation Engine. and it cannot handle modern graphical effects (not to mention the horrible physics engine) properly without significant performance drop.
I suggest playing Skyrim Special Edition without ENB's and add a few useful mods (+all gaphical enhancements like textures etc.)- even though Skyrim SSE lacks more than a couple essential mods based on the Script Extender which is not out yet for this version. Just to note, SKyrim's engine is designed to run at 60fps. More than that and the physics engine can't take it.
P.S. With your gtx 1080 ti I suggest you to use DSR to upscale games at higher resolutions than your monitor can display (better image quality).
P.P.S. I excluded most hardware generic questions because I am almost sure that is not the case.Also, the CPU does not have to be at 100% usage for 'bottlenecking' to appear (because few games scale to all cores-you may just be limited by single core performance for example).
