My sentiments exactly. I think 4K gaming is overrated. (I have 1440p because I need real estate for my spreadsheets). Yes, you'll be CPU-bound in some games, especially if you have a beefy GPU.

I've been on Intel since my first PC decades (!!!) ago. I'm actually thinking of getting AMD's Threadripper or Ryzen for my next build hahaha! Although I will stay with Nvidia for the GPU, the power consumption of the current AMD GPUs gives me pause since I want a small case, and it would be difficult to handle the thermals of a power-hungry GPU in an mATX case
