My build is the gigabyte gaming 7 with an Intel i7-7700k and 8 GB of ram,  and an asus 1080 ti. Will i experience any bottleneck due to the fact that the fastest pci slot on my mobo is a 16x? If so,  Will it be noticeable? I plan on having in 1440p fairly consistently.

16x is just the electrical and size specs of the slot.

 

an 8x slot is half the size... what matters a bit is the generation of pcie, and since you have the latest (gen3) there is absolutely no bottleneck.

You're worried about the wrong bottleneck, nVidia themselves states the recommendation of 16gb of system RAM to run a GTX 1080 Ti.

Even modern gpu cant really saturate x8 Pcie gen 3..u'll be fine althought ur cpu will likelly bottleneck the 1080 ti a lil bit.

Yeah, I figured this will do for now though, in the future I'll probably be upgrading to an 8700k or possibly an i9.
