I'm planning to upgrade to a GTX 1080 ti. I just want to know if my i5 4690k would bottleneck the card.

The games I currently play are PUBG, Warframe, and Monster Hunter World.

Eventually I'll plan to upgrade my CPU but for now I'd like to know if the card would fully perform in the games I play paired with my CPU.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions :)

Games are written differently, some are cpu dependent some are more GPU dependent.
Most games are GPU dependent.
I5 4690k is a bottleneck for some new AAA cpu heavy games but for most games, it is not yet.
The bottleneck can also still be ignored for today.
4690k is not a bottleneck for Warframe.
PUBG is just badly optimized, although it is already a lot better now.
As for Monster Hunter World, I do not know, since I have not played that game yet.
