I have a 4770k that's happily chugging along. It's the only windows machine left in the house. I'm not the one using it but it's a fine machine (it used to run linux before I sadly had to downgrade it to pass it along to my SO).

It doesn't get to run any games though. I'll have to see if it's worth it to mess with it.

The only game I'm having stutters in is Escape From Tarkov (CPU intensive, and optimized for single-core).

Other than that, It runs everything I throw at it without a flinch.

My current main machine is a Ryzen 3900 which I have yet to overload. The 2080 gpu may be a problem if I upgrade to a large ultrawide monitor though.
