There hasn't been a breakthrough in gaming engines for a loooooong time. Truly no need to be buying overpowered hardware unless you're doing more than gaming.
With a locked i5, a 1070, and full SSD, I'm sure my PC performs on par, if not outperforms many poorly optimized systems people have here that they tend to just throw parts and $$$ at.
Gaming doesn't require much,
believe me, you can play most games on an i3 with great results.
Now if you are trying to hit 4k gaming, that's a different story, but for me at least, not until games are being render in a native 4k with brand new engines, there isn't a point.
