I've got a GTX 1070 8GB, with 16gb DDR4 ram with an i7-6700k 4.0ghz, is BTC worth mining? What do you think my profits could be?
Thanks!

Sorry buddy you missed the boat.  Bitcoin is exclusively mined by ASICs now.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Here is the alt coin section link this is where GPU mining is still profitable. The mods will move this post for you.

Jump on whattomine, pick an altcoin there.
Look it up on here, and the coins post should tell you how to mine it.

Bitcoin is too difficult to mining using a GPU. You can try mining Altcoins, reading in site coinwarz or whattomine.

sorry mate, BTC is not minable by GPU
but as a good start point you may try to mine some strong altcoins from top 10 on coinmarket
people use to mine ETH, ZEC, BTG - all this coin will be quite ok to mine with you card and for CPU you may try electroneum.
you can find the guides how to start mine it here on this forum

Your computer is really high performance. But actually it's not going for BTC which is for dedicated ASIC miner.
With GTX 1070 you could mine many cois such as: ETH, ZEN/ZEC, XZC, LBC, FTC and some other neoscrypt coins. Also with that high level CPU core i7-6700k 4.0Ghz, you could mine XMR or Magi coin (ZMG) as well.
The profit should be around 1.9-2.2$/GPU/day after power cost.

Not for Bitcoin. But for Altcoins, Yes.
