Hey,
Have you heard of the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?
You only need to upgrade if the performance you are getting doesn't satisfy you. If you only wanted to upgrade for bragging rights then I can show you a pcpartpicker build that costs $45 000 and unfortunately won't give you more FPS in games than a $2 000 build.
If everything works well then there is no need to upgrade. If in a couple of years your system can't keep up with latest games then you could consider upgrading.

In certain game you might see a FPS increase but it won't be noticable. If you are currently playing a game with 90 FPS and it goes up to 93 FPS it won't make any difference. I can understand if a game was running at 45 and with the new CPU goes up to 60 FPS - but this won't happen.

Your CPU is a great gaming CPU. If you are playing on 1080 p then a single 970 or 980 is more than enough. A SLI 970 on 1080 is overkill and unjustified waste of money in my opinion.
If in a couple of years you need more juice then you can add a second 970 or 980 accordingly but for now (and again if it's 1080p) you will be more than happy with a single card.
