This is my current custom build:

i5-4690 @ 3.50Ghz
16Gb G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
2 Asus STRIX GTX980 in SLI
Samsung 250Gb SSD for OS and games, 1Tb mechanical for storage
CX750M PSU

I'm wondering if I'd see any improvement in upgrading to the GTX 1080.

Not really. If you don't need the extra VRAM, the performance is minimal difference.
960 SLI is like a 980, 970sli more liKe Titan or 980ti.
980 SLI is a better Titan, so 1080
Anyways I don't see why you should. Top of line CPU, an i5 is middle of top end, and then dual 980s would do so much without a upgrade.
Only in SLI unoptimized games should the 1080 be better

And at higher resolutions where the extra VRAM is needed.

But I reccomemd a new PSU. CX are bad PSUs and I reccomemd a higher quality unit, a tier one or two from PSU tier list
