I built this awesome thing a good 2 years ago and have been wanting to update it recently. I'd like to replace my cpu with an i-7 and add some more fans. Will my graphics card be fine with upcoming games like battlefield 1? Any input or suggestions is greatly appreciated!!

Without changing out your motherboard, the strongest cpu upgrade you can do is a I7-4790K.
True, you can not oc with a H97 chipset, but the stock clock of 4.0 is much better than the 3.6 of the i7-4790.

If you have two 140mm fans in front as intakes, you need no more.
I would add a simple tower type air cooler with a 120mm fan to reduce noise.
Cryorig H7 or cm hyper212 are inexpensive and popular.

What motherboard would you recommend in order to get a better cpu

Depends on your budget.

If you can buy a used i7-4790K that would be a good upgrade and you would not get that much by replacing the motherboard with a overclockable Z97 based motherboard..
If you were prepared to buy both, then go whole hog and buy a i5-6600K, a z170 based motherboard, 16gb of ddr4 ram and a decent air cooler.
That is as good as you can get for gaming today.

Are you certain that it is more cpu power that you need?
Perhaps a GTX1070 upgrade would do you better.
