Well I built a pc and it uses the LGA2011-v3 socket but the new Skylake-X ans Kaby Lake-X series will be using a new chipset and socket so if i plan on upgrading will there be and hope for CPUs based on the LGA2011-v3 socket or is Intel not planning to release andy newer CPUs based on that socket and the X99 chipset? If I really need to upgrade should I go for a Xeon CPU as many Xeons use the LGA 2011-v3 socket?

Also, upgrading my GPU should I get another Strix GeForce GTX 1080 and run it in SLi or should I buy the Titan X Pascal? WIll the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti be a viable option?

Won't speculate on 1080 till but do you need to upgrade is the question I have. What cpu do you currently have on the 2011? If it's like the 6800k then no you will not need an upgrade any time soon. Probably not until even the 1151 (newest) is obsolete IMO. No Intel won't release new chips for 2011. Since you already have a 1080 I would say just get another for SLI if you feel the need. Better performance then titan (in sli)  and less cost.
