Asus CM6630_CM6730_CM6830; Thats the current MOBO inside my PC, I currently have an i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHZ running with a 660ti.

I plan on putting an i7 4790k and a 970 GTX inside within the next few weeks. Do I NEED to change MOBO's? For some reason I can't find any information about the one I have.

Nope they wont fit in your current motherboard. you need a new one with 1150 socket with z97 or z97 chipset. if you go for non k verson of cpu than you can get h97 or h87 chipset.
your current mobo is socket 1155 and I think you had a branded pc.
