If you are going to drop $1,000 on a graphics card, why not spend another $100 or so on the CPU and future proof it a little more? For gaming today, you won't see any benefit between this and the the...

2700x is slower overall and uses more power. Only benefit the 2700x has is 2 more cores / 4 more threads. I would get the 3600.

At this price, it's probably a push or worse to go socket 1366 or 2011. Not to mention you get all the modern conveniences of being on a currently supported AM4 platform.

Definitely overkill. Take a look at the Serverbuilds NAS Killer and build yourself an older generation Xeon based system for $200 or less and it will get you everything you need.
