Is my setup good enough to last another year?

Hiho.

I just wanted to ask whether I should upgrade or not because I'm not sure whether my setup is "old"?

Well, here are the specs:

Z87X-OC-FORCE Gigabyte Motherboard (DDR3 not DDR4 unfortunately, but it supports quad SLI and my SLI are currently x16 x16 3.0 PCI-E) LGA 1150 socket.
CPU: i7 4790k with Noctua NH-D14 Cooler (Biggest air CPU cooler I could find)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB Dual Channel (2400Mhz) (Is this quick enough?)
GPU: 780 TI in SLI (I actually get 15 more FPS on Witcher 3 and better performance on other titles like Shadow of Mordor, better than single 980 TI and that's without an overclock!)
InWin GRone Full Tower Case with Fan Turbo.
1000W Corsair GOLD PSU.
Lots of corsair 120mm quiet edition fans.
120GB Corsair SSD (Should I upgrade this?)

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
I'd estimate that system has another 3-5 years of relevance at least; likely more with an occasional graphics card upgrade.

If you wanna stick to 4K, BUT you don't mind running games at medium settings, it's fine. If you want 4K maxing out everything, you should wait until DX12 games come out and see how your 780Tis stack up.
