It's not bad, but I have to drop down to 1080p in some games to get the kinds of framerates that I enjoy on my 144hz 1440p monitor.

Yeah, they'll tide us over until the price gouging and false-scarcity ends. Besides, I'll need to build a whole new rig to justify a 3000 series or future 4000 series card; I'm still running an I7 6700k.

Most games aren't CPU limited. You'll be fine with your i7. I'm running an old i5-2500k clocked to 4GHz and a Vega 56. If I upgrade it'll be to buy a GPU with raytracing.

That depends entirely on your video card, refresh rate, resolution and other in-game video settings. Almost all the games I play are limited by the CPU and I have a 9900K.
