You can probably keep the board and upgrade the CPU to a i7-7700K and OC it. Sell the i5 to re-coup some of the expense.

Was the lower CPU usage with the GTX 1080 as well?
Check that you don't have some malware running in the background stealing clock cycles; Malwarebytes.
Check Task Manager to see what other programs are running, or...
Check your TRAY to be sure there's no background program running that you weren't aware of.

Was the earlier, lower CPU usage with the GTX 1080 as well?

Busier server now? More players? Different settings?
 
Quite common for pretty much all i5 variants to have very high cpu utilization....(I'd be surprised if you ever were able to play modern games with only 30% CPU usage prior, frankly, as nearly everyone else sees near 100% usage in many games)

As long as your frame rates are acceptable,...play.
