UserBenchmark really bad overall results

So my computer has been acting all slow recently, so i decided to do a benchmark test and unfortunately for me the results are really bad. It sucks as well because i really don't know much with computers, so i really don't know what to do to fix my overall performance of my computer.
If anyone could maybe give me a hand and figure out the reasons on why my components are performing below average then that would mean the world :D

UserBenchmarks: Game 27%, Desk 46%, Work 34%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K - 65.8%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 - 22.3%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 41.6%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600 C9 2x8GB - 39.5%
MBD: Asus H110M-C D3

Here are some screenshots of the website about my benchmark results:

@Kanewolf - Your analysis of the website is wrong. Each component is compared individually to the standard performance of each component. Even outdated components in unison with newer components should compare relative to each individual component.

An example of my build with an old LGA1155 Socket, Dell Optiplex 7010 motherboard. http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/9763708

@Wantedforlife4 - I would check to make sure you have your computer in High performance, and that your PSU can handle the load. Also, you had a high background CPU usage, so I would also check that no rogue software is running in the background without your knowledge, or that your anti-virus isn't scanning while you're benchmarking.

If nothing works, I would...

Your memory is hurting you. You are being compared to DDR4 3000 systems. Your lack of an SSD is hurting you. An H110 motherboard is hurting your comparison. You are being compared to Z170 and Z270 motherboards. You have a "K" CPU but with the H motherboard you can't overclock.

What did you expect. You are using low end, and outdated components. UserBenchmark compares to everybody. Most are using top line components.

If nothing works, I would just reinstall Windows to your PC. After running the same software on any device for a long time, it begins to behave more slowly. The most thorough fix for this is to backup your files, then reinstall Windows. Before you do this, you should definitely think about installing a SSD. It will make your PC run much smoother. (I've made a 10 year old PC really fast with a SSD)

A Kingston A400 for example, @120 GB will have a read speed of about 400 MB/s, which can be more than 2 times faster or up to 10 times faster than your traditional HDD, at a price of about $35. You can even keep your HDD as a secondary drive, to store data on so your SSD stays empty/clean for your OS.

(Don't worry about scary forums telling you not to get a small drive for your OS, I've only used 30 GB on my 500 GB OS SSD, and I've had Windows on it for about 6 months, with no change to the size.)
