Also youre looking at this backwards, the lower the resolution and graphics settings the more CPU bottlenecked a game is. So upgrading a CPU is more important to someone playing at 1080p or 1440p high than it is someone playing 4k ultra.
Not at all. I'm using a $40 Thermalright Assassin air cooler and it stays nice and cool.
Not a lot of experience with Intel processors, but someone had mentioned enabling power limits in BIOS. Are you utilizing those? Or is the air cooler doing it on the default settings?
I have not been limiting it. The CPU draws up to 200w and I have a slight overclock. Any sizeable air cooler will be fine.
Edit:..One thing to add. I do use the
thermalright contact frame which helps a lot. Recommended with Intel processors.

Got it almost 3 months ago with a nice fully outfitted Asus board and 32gb cheap ram for I think 350. Added a deep cool 360 aio for $80 bucks after sale and coupon and got a 850watt open box for $40 that was only missing a cable and manual. Microcenter is amazing
Spending 175% more for latest gen mobo and CPU would be insane. I always wait until previous gen mobo/CPU/ram combos go on crazy sales at my microcenter and can usually get at least half my money back flipping mobo, CPU, and ram. I upgrade basically every gen but one step behind.
keep yourself updated and educated.
