this pc probably doesnt make much sense

My new pc build, tell me what you guys think:

 

• CPU
  i7 3770 (non-k)---------------------------------------------$90 (used)
• Motherboard
  Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3----------------------------------$73.99 (used)
• RAM
  G.SKILL 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133mhz----------$104.99
• GPU
  EVGA GTX 1080 FTW---------------------------------$319.50 (used, 2yr left on warranty)
• Case
  Fractal Design Define R5-----------------------------$121.98
• Storage
  240GB SSD + 2TB HDD-----------------------------$109.98
• PSU
  EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3-------------------------$55.27
• Cooling
  Cryorig H7----------------------------------------------$36.50
• Operating System
  Windows 7 Professional----------------------------$15

   

  Total-----------------------------------------------------$927.21

   

  The CPU is overclocked to 4.1ghz across all cores, and runs up to 4.3ghz on a single core. I achieved this by raising the max turbo by 400mhz on all cores, this is a feature that was on non-k 2nd and 3rd gen i5s and i7s, it's known as a "limited overclock" and the feature is absent on Haswell and higher.

   

  This build may not make much sense, because I could have just went with an 8th gen i3 for a little more money, but the 3770 is better for multi-threaded tasks. I get 750-760cb in Cinebench, and I get 150-160cb on single core. The GTX 1080 is kind of overkill, and definitely bottlenecks the 3770 a bit since I only game at 1080p, but I got a good deal on it, and if I want to upgrade to 1440p in the future then I'll have a good gpu for it.

   

  I downgraded from a 6700K and 1080 Ti because I don't use my computer enough to justify keeping such expensive hardware that will just go down in cost in the near future, so I'm selling off most of my old system.

the 1080ti is worth selling, but the 6700k, not at all. It has already lost most of the value it can lose  Too bad the platform is this unloved.

I bought my 6700K for $299 USD about a year ago, and they sell for $230+ on ebay, so I don't have any regerts.

 

I bought my 1080 Ti used for $475, sold it for $490.
