If you're going to spend 2000 dollars to upgrade your games, you should just get a better graphics card, though.  That'll give you the biggest benefit.  Instead of upgrading a CPU which gives you an extra 20 FPS on your minimums, and that's being generous.  At that price, you could get two 1080 ti's.

"Buy the best you can afford" should always be the appropriate mantra.

And I don't disagree that the GPU does tend to provide a larger return on investment compared to the CPU.

But if you are spending big initially and wish to have your rig last a long time, quad-cores are not a wise investment.

I originally just purchased a new GPU instead of also a processor and altough my 2011' 2600k @ 4.2 Ghz was a monster and still outperforms lower end cpu's this day I did notice it had become a bottleneck in certain games so I had to upgrade.

Consoles target 30fps for a reason and pc gamers always demand high frames and high performance and altough returns are GREATER from a videocard on 4k when you target 1080p or 1440p there will always be a cpu bottleneck when using the highest-end graphics cards like the 1080 or 1080ti
