I would like to upgrade to a 1080ti, is there anything else I should upgrade along with it according to my setup now?

GPU now-GTX 980
CPU now-i7 4790 3.60 GHz
Motherboard now-MSI Z97 PC Mate
RAM now-16GB ddr3
PSU now-600w ATNG (ATM 600-FB)
80plus certified, standard I believe

Upgrading to a 1080ti I am pretty sure I would need a better PSU, but would I need to upgrade my mobo, cpu, or ram, along with it? Or if not, how long do you think I have before I would need to upgrade those after I upgrade to a 1080ti?

if your PSU quality is good enough, u don't have to (since u didn't post the brand and type, i can't tell)
u can check your PSU quality with this tier list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
in my opinion, that build can still last 2-4 years (there ought to be some minor bottleneck here and there, since the 4th gen against 7th gen had bout 15% difference in terms of performance but overall u'll be fine)

Edit: if u can afford an upgrade though, getting a Ryzen build will give u more futureproof
