Finally got myself a 5080 FE and ready to start the building process. Going to be also gaming on a 4K monitor. Question, how important is it to get one of the above mentioned CPUs? It’s hard to distinguish how much of a priority it is since EVERYONE uses one. A lot of people also mention that at 4K it really only helps with 1% lows and provide negligible FPS boost as at the resolution it’s primarily GPU bottlenecked.

If you have alternative recommendations would love to hear it :)
