Do you really realize how absurd this argument is? First of all a 4790k isnt 400 dollars, much less 1000. In any case, a 4690k is almost as fast for gaming. It will also be faster than 8350 in pretty much every game should you decide to turn down the resolution or settings to get a better framerate. The price difference is only about 100 dollars compared to the 8350. So are you seriously saying someone who spends a thousand to 1300 dollars for graphics cards, a hundred dollars or more for the PSU to drive it, probably 16 or 32 gb of ram, an expensive monitor, etc, etc, ---- 2000 or more for the system, should limit his flexibility to get the best framerate at other (non gpu limited) settings by saving 100.00 on the cpu? This argument is so illogical it makes my head want to explode. One can make a reasonable argument for using AMD cpu in a few low/mid range price classes, but in a high end 1000.00 plus system it is just absurd.
First of all i didnt say that everyone should only buy the FX 8-core because it is cheaper, what i have said is that you dont need a 400 to 1000 dollar CPUs to play at 4K.
Also, for those that believe that 4K gaming is only made for Intel 6-8 Core CPUs, just type FX8350 and 4K on youtube and have a look.

People should come to terms that there is a different world outside AT forums and people are using FX 8-core CPUs for high-end/high resolution gaming.
