Will the i5-6500 bottleneck a 1080Ti?

Im planning on buying a 1080Ti FTW3 but i dont know if my cpu would bottleneck it...i mostly play shooters like cs, pubg and racing games like need for speed...im running my games on a 1080p @60Hz monitor...imo i think i wont have bottleneck since i dont play cpu intense games
 
The gtx 1080ti is way too powerful for 60fps at 1080p, it also way too much money since soon probably the new nvidia generation will come out.
If I were you I would get a rx580/gtx 1060 or maybe a 1070. If you pay 800$ now you will regret it in a few months when newer gpus come out for 400$ with more or less the same performance as the now 800$ 1080ti.
 


Maybe a 1080 msi gaming x is a better option?
