Hi all, first time posting,

I was looking to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1070 but thought id run a user benchmark test and got these results, apart from upgrading parts, is there anything i can do to boost performance or make things a bit more streamlined. cheers for your help

Arma 3, from what I understand uses the CPU a lot to the point you could gain some 20% increase in performance if you were to use an i7-6700K or i7-7700K.

If you haven't overclocked your system, you could also gain performance from doing that. Your GTX 970 can overclock and perform like a stock GTX 980. Your RAM could possibly be overclocked to 3200MHz C16 1.35V. I have that same RAM except in 2x8GB and that's what I'm running.
Unfortunately those results don't tell us anything useful. If you would have shared the link to the results we could at least see a few more results to compare things.

What games do you play? What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate? What power supply do you have?
