How have things been going with the PC.

It's been running better, Thank you! There have still been problems though, such as the SSD still has been reaching 100%. When I was playing Roblox, and tried to use edge at the same time, I checked task manager as edge wasn't loading properly, and saw that the SSD usage was maxed out at 100%. When I was playing Roblox, I also noticed that whenever there was a map change in games, the game would freeze, this happened over multiple Roblox games too. Other than that, I was able to play Roblox quite well without any interruptions, and it was running well, except for little moments such as the ones mentioned

This is an improvement for sure. The following is not meant to be mean or snarky but these "symptoms" are typical in PC's with lower hardware specs.
My Daughter has a lower-spec machine and I see these exact behaviors while she plays Roblox or Fortnight.

Although the 1080 was a beast back in its prime, not so much today, coupled with the i5 CPU and the SATA interface for the SSD, you are limited in the scope of performance.

Does this mean that I won't be able to run games like watch dogs 2 / I'd have to play on low settings? Also, I'm satisfied with where I'm at right now. I appreciate all the help that's been given

You are right at the recommended settings and probably have to turn down some GPU settings. Always check your Nvidia driver settings in the global section. For instance, if you have settings in the game, the Nvidia driver settings may override the game settings. The Nvidia Driver settings should be set to "let the application decide".

 
Network

If I may just chime in momentarily, wireless gaming is never the best and if you look at your last Speccy report you will see how many Internet related System Process there are being queried. this is a bottleneck, also worth a mention are the further away from the router you are and the more devices that are connected to it the weaker any wireless signal is.
 
Yeah I know wireless is worse than wired, but I have no choice but to use it. My pc is upstairs and my router is downstairs, currently I have no way to get a LAN cable up to my room, as my mum wont allow me to drill a hole in the floor.
 
Um, sorry to be a bother, but I've just tried playing watch dogs 2, put the graphics quality to just high, as when i use recommended settings it puts it on ultra, so i put the graphics down to high. As soon as I loaded in, the SSD maxed to 100%, and I got a BSOD with the code: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
