bwahahah i think you are far beyond diminishing returns with that thing and ootp...

gen 8 and only quad core? you sure? still going to last a long time. cpu is rarely the bottleneck for most game uses. maybe with db-type pure number-crunching work it'd reach its potential (cpu's potential that is).... or video encodeing, but i think the gpus help now on that too.

biggest thing -- don't buy cheap parts. like RAM. not all similar sized RAM has the same latency. it's a much larger factor of speed than mhz. e.g. you go from 2133 to 2400 and it's not a proportional increase in speed... it's probably insignificant, actually. you improve on the latency specs and it's much better.

same with the GPU.. not all of the same model are the same... avoid the no-name brands and products taht seem like a steal.. they likely are not. about 10 years ago i bought a cheaper GPU and saved ~$20. the heat sink was so crappy it couldn't even fully utilized without major heat issues. what's the point of that nonsense? lol...
