For high end gaming only there is no need to spend that amount of money, it is rather ridiculous putting a $2000 CPU into a gaming build. You really don't need to spend anywhere near that much to be able to max games at playable frame rates.

It can easily max games at 2560x1440p without being horrendously expensive. What you really need to do is tell us what game you want to be playing and at what resolution and that way we can evaluate how much you really need to be spending (hint: it isn't $4300).
