CPU-limited — measured at the 1080p reference, a faster CPU would unlock about +58% from the GPU you've chosen (median 58 fps today). CPU: high-end, GPU: entry-level. Based on our most recent measurements.
Biggest non-performance spend: memory (+$850 over a solid baseline) — shifting that toward the GPU buys more frames.
