Current Motherboard: ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard B85M-G R2.0
I am currently in the process of upgrading my pc from a gtx 960 with a i5 4460 to an i7 4790k and a gtx 1070. I am just wondering about using my fairly budget motherboard on higher end hardware. Is there any reason I would want a different motherboard?

That depends on your specific requirement but here are some of the most common reason to upgrade your motherboard.
For faster processor, More memory usage, to support a faster AGP graphics card, support latest technologies, support external peripherals and increase expansion slot potential.
