My PC,
CPU - i5 8400
Mobo - MSI Z370-A PRO
RAM - 2x8GB HyperX Fury 2400MHz DDR4
GPU - Zotac GTX 1060 6GB

As my friend bought 3090 he decided to give me his Zotac 1080Ti 11GB AMP Edition.

If i put it on my present PC will it cause bottleneck or performance issues.? If so what should i upgrade to make it run smooth.?

Thanks.

dont worry much about bottleneck. worry your psu. what psu do you have now?
 
I had a 4 core 8 thread i7 7700. It occasionally (although rare) bottlenecked in games with my 5700 xt. I'd moved on to 11400. Now I don't see any bottleneck. 7700 and 8400 is close and 1080ti false between 5700 xt and 2070 super. So you might get slight bottlenecks. Nothing catastrophic tbh
