Is it worth an upgrade?

Solution
I don't see why a USB 3.1 controller wouldn't work in any system you plugged it into.

Only exception would be thunderbolt, but I'm pretty sure the thunderbolt cards that exist are supported on Z270 boards already. They usually have compatibility lists.

I mean upgrading the whole computer of course, sorry, I wasn't clear with my question. I am wondering if I can plug a PCIe card for usb 3.1 on the old Z270 motherboard or if I would need to upgrade to the latest gen system.
