Hello !

Here are my pc spesifications

is this considered a bad pc ? if so, why ? also i am in need of aof a new gpu. wolud a
ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 ROG STRIX OC be a big improvement? or will my cpu hold me back ?
i have also heard that the 5820k is a pretty decent CPU that is good for both gaming and other tasks . at least if i clock it, it will be good for gaming.

so i hope that someone can help me with my questions

It is not "bad", it is simply "old". Considering that platform, Haswell-E, was released four years ago. Four years can be a lifetime when it comes to CPU performance. It's still very viable though, especially if you can get a decent overclock on the CPU to give it a little more muscle. If you can get the core speed up to around 4Ghz with all cores running, it should be able to run any card or game you wish to use.

Your CPU should not hold you back to any significant degree. Will it be as good as a brand new Ryzen or Intel CPU with the same number of cores? No. But that does not mean it is not still a very capable CPU. Better in fact than some that are being sold and used currently, especially if you can overclock the CPU and get the speed up where it can make those twelve threads really shine.
