COOL GTX
given the buying climate that probably needs to be as is for now.
nothing is actually being done unless it is the odd browsing session or fooling around with old files.
 
I am shocked at what people are getting for Nice 1070 cards on Ebay 

You asked for what the weak points are on your rig then defend and retort a critique given? What exactly was the point of this thread then? 

Just trying to see if it is still relevant today and since it sits I will not be paying stupid money for upgrade when GPUs are so expensive

Your card is 5 years old (released on May 6, 2016). That is a long time in GPU area. Games in last 5 years are quite demanding.
You know there is 2070  and 3070 produced.
 
If you are gamer may I suggest you a game?

For most gaming, the graphics card will be the weak point.  If you do anything that's extremely cpu intensive, that could be holding you back as well.  An upgrade to the cpu (and consequently the motherboard) and GPU would have you very much up to date, the rest of the hardware should be great.  3000mhz ram is maybe slightly on the low side, but unless you're going for bleeding edge cpu performance, it is probably inconsequential.

Depends on what you're trying to do. For casual gaming at 1440p, you're going to be fine for the most part. You may have to turn down a few graphics settings, but it should keep up decently. If you're trying to run high resolution, high frame rate, and/or VR, your biggest issue at the moment is the 6800K. Broadwell was a significantly weaker gaming CPU due to how it handled its voltage regulation on chip. I can't remember if that's still the case for the Extreme Edition chips, though. It's also going to have a significant IPC disadvantage compared to anything starting at Kaby Lake or Zen 2. To give you an idea, I'm running a 6700K (Skylake 4C/8T) at 4.5 GHz and during VR gaming I'm seeing significant frame time variation for graphically intensive games.
 
Aside from that, you're running a pretty low amount of storage. These days, 2 TB SSDs and 8 TB HDDs have the best price per GB. If you're not feeling space constrained I wouldn't worry about it. If you are, make sure any SSDs you get are TLC and not QLC, as the endurance and performance are significantly less on QLC. Make sure any HDDs you get are not SMR, as they are much slower than their PMR counterparts. My friend just posted throughput benches for some SMRs he bought for bulk storage and they're maxing out at 20 MBps.
 
When you eventually do upgrade your graphics card, you should integrate it into your custom loop. You have more than enough capacity to cool both CPU and GPU with mild OCs.
 
 

Good but slight upgrade might be optimal, what do you mainly do in terms of gaming (gpu slightly weak)?

Cpu upgrade would be good, Also you can't say you have a custom loop or rate my rig without pics we all know aesthetics are 99% of what matters in builds 

the GPU is pretty weak. it can handle more
