Yeah, I've been setting mentally on i3-8100 for my next upgrade when memory prices come back down (someday). I want at least 4 physical cores for gaming and possibly for Cemu and RPCS3 which apparently can benefit from them. I also want the best possible per cycle performance and clock speed combination at a low price. I could be tempted to chase up an i5-7600K to get better clocks since they can be had for about $190 on Microcenter and sometimes even less during sales.
