High resolutions reduce the need for CPU usage, which makes sense since keeping it unchanged here doesn’t seem logical.

It won't happen, processors don't get worse over time... and getting unnecessary items because you hope they might be useful later is the simplest method of losing money. When you really need something, it will likely be more affordable, or there will be superior choices available at the same cost.

I missed the upgrade from an i7 4770 to an i7 8700. I’d stick with 100% AMD now.

4770 looks terrible in comparison to the 8700, especially once it becomes unlocked.

I face severe stuttering in specific games, completely convinced it's due to my CPU or RAM failing. I expect the 8700K will last at least five more years if I have this issue.

You're thinking about keeping a 2-year-old CPU for five more years? That's a big gamble, Cotton. Even as an Intel enthusiast, I wouldn't recommend it. The Z370 board prices have plummeted, and I bought mine for just $80 from Memory Express. DDR4 memory is also very affordable—32GB of Gskill costs between $120 and $130 in Canada. Unless that CPU is worth a whopping 350-400 bucks, it doesn't seem like a good deal at all.

Everywhere costs more here, and what I’m receiving is only worth half of what I pay. That’s a huge gap.

You might also find it available elsewhere within the EU. With your Z370/8700k/32GB, 3200MHz and RX570 paired with 5000KR, it’s a solid offer.
