    If it’s just for gaming, you really don’t need the absolute top of the line in terms of CPU. I can’t think of a game I’ve ever played that maxes out my CPU on all cores.

    Unless you’re also using it for CPU-specific and intensive work outside of gaming, you won’t gain much from spending more money.

      CPU bottlenecks start happening long before task manager reads 100% CPU usage. Any time a pipeline flush happens and your CPU is sitting there waiting for data to make its way through you’re going to feel it.

      Also if you’re spending 5000 why wouldn’t you get the best?
