Upgrading from i5-3470...

Is it even worth the cost of getting a new mobo so that I may also upgrade my cpu, or is my current cpu good enough to last. I might be getting a gtx 1080 after I see benchmarks.

For games, you don't need more than an Intel i5.

The 3470 will keep up in nearly all games for a while. It won't stop you getting under 60fps any time soon I reckon.
