I am more than happy on my non-K i7-8700 with an RTX3070. I am not sure what worthy games I am missing, playing in 1440p. Before that I had an overclocked i5-2500K , 2011-early 2018, and it only started to show age because it wasn’t equipped with hyper threading. I think people vastly overestimate the importance of CPUs in gaming.
