While the 2070 Super is perfectly fine for 1440p, you need to fix that one stick of memory. It will cripple cpu performance in cpu heavy games/situations - your fps lows and avgs are worse, and the cpu simply isn't running at 100% without dual channel.Oh I thought dual channel memory was something else lol. No I dont atm but I'm planning to buy 1 or 2 more 8gb sticks. I have one currently.

Yes, but does your motherboard support a Flex Mode for memory? If it doesn't, using 3 sticks will make the cpu run in single channel.Awesome thanks mate. So I'll buy two new 8gb and try the three together if I have issues I'll sell the old one?
Nope, no Flex Mode. Installing 3 sticks will make it run in single channel again.gigabyte Z170-HD3-CF
There's only one other cpu you could possibly upgrade to, and it wouldn't be a real one at all - the 7700K, which is, in all essence, an overclocked version of your 6700K.Thank you for all your help and advice. Really appreciate it! So often when you upgrade cpu do you want to change to whole lot? Sometimes if motherboard is compatible you can just upgarde CPU, Correct?
