    Yea just dont play 1080p and expect high frames without pegging the cpu to 100% for any cpu intensive game. Most people tend to be 30 frame gamers nowadays.

    Like by no means is it good enough for the 3080 or even a 2080 at anything but 4k60 or higher res, but it’s definitely more than enough for a 10 series card

    No. 
     
     
    Don't use old, out-of-warranty PSU's on builds you care about.

    +1 to upgrade the mobo, the CPU and the memory before changing the 1070. It's still quite a capable GPU, i mean i still use mine with 5800X3D and it still hangs on. That 4790 though - you can form a memorial to it. It's a proper relic now. Get a 7600X with B650 mobo and 2x16GB DDR 5, so if after 2-3 years you want more performance you could simply drop in a new CPU and a BIOS flash. Intel 13th gen CPUs are good CPUs, BUT aren't exactly a great upgrade option because it's basically a deadend platform. Same for AM4.

    A 4790k isnt even good for a 1070, so a 3080 will be a bit problem.
    I only use 2x6 pins for my 3090. Psu should be perfectly fine, especially given how low the card will be performing.

    No, the i7-4790K will heavily bottleneck the performance of a RTX 3080.
     
    The CoolerMaster V850 is 6-pin on the PSU side, but should be 6+2 on the GPU end.
    That is the purpose of it... you can combine the 6+2 to make an 8-pin PCI-E power connector.
    Use 3x separate cables (i.e. don't daisy-chain).

    No, it will not bottleneck. If you're running stock 2600k though, overclocking it can give you a little boost.

    If it is overclocked, for sure not. It's a beast overclocker, it can easily catch up to Haswell.
    @EDIT - 100th post! Yay!
