I have a question about CPUS

For the purposes of gaming, do we really get that much benefit out of buying the latest at greatest CPU? I'm currently running an i7 860 @ 4ghz. This is now a pretty ancient processor. However, how much better would a new processor, say a mid-range ryzen, run a game if both systems had the same GPUs? Say a GTX 1080. Nobody ever seems to actually benchmark these things, everybody just says "Oh well that CPU is X years old so obviously it'll kill your framerate" and i'm sure it does effect the framerate to a degree, but i'm having a hard time believing the CPU i have currently, which barely hits 70% load in games, is really holding me back that much. (At the moment i've got a GTX770) I'm wondering why i should bother dropping $500-700 on a new CPU/Mobo/Ram setup when i could put that money into a new GPU?

Has anyone actually ever seen benchmarks of something like this?

It depends on what you play, but it can definitely matter, and yes there are benchmarks for it.

That's more a comparison of different current CPUs though, not CPUs from the first few generations of "modern" computers (High power quad cores)

No. You want a mid-range CPU with a couple of really strong cores, since nothing is fucking multithreaded still in fucking 2017.

Your cpu is ancient. It's slower than modern i3s.
