Normally I'd agree with you, but Destiny 2 (which the OP specifically mentioned) doesnt really scale beyond 4C/4T:
I'm not exactly sure how how a 3570K @ 4.2GHz compares to a stock 7600K but it shouldnt be that far off. The stock 7600K is about 10% ahead of a 1700 @ 3.9GHz, so a 2700X should just about draw equal.
It would be a HUGE productivity upgrade, but if the OP is looking for a big improvement in 120fps+ gaming in Destiny 2 he may be a bit disappointed in the gains compared to his 3570K.
OP seems to be playing on a 1440p monitor, so this benchmark would be more appropriate:
Also remember that this is an older benchmark without Intel's 8000 and AMD's 2000 series. Since it doesn't seem to scale much beyond 4C/4T, you can still figure it out somewhat though. A stock 2700X would be considerably better than the 1700 @ 3.9GHz here. IPC improvements and probably running around 4.1-4.2GHz as not all cores are loaded.
Of course, overclocking changes everything up if you went with the 8600k.
