>But if you're playing games, you're probably not CPU-bound anyway.

We used to say this, but I don't believe it anymore. A lot of games these days make heavy use of simulation and physics engines. Games like KSP that perform continuous physics calculations are absolutely CPU-bound.

You will also be cpu bound often when going for extremely high refresh rate 1080p. E.g. 240hz.
