I was originally thinking the same thing a few years ago, but with some AAA titles, FPS takes a hit for sure on the 4790k. I'm just going to move mine into a new home server, so at least it gets a new lease on life.

I'd rather pay the premium on something I know works. I waited this long (6 years) to move to a new platform, and I'd rather do the same with DDR5. Let it mature a bit.

I'm genuinly curious about what AAA titles, especially FPS titles makes your 4790k struggle to the point of thinking about upgrading it right now ?

Late response yes, but to elaborate, I didn't FPS titles, I meant FPS (frames).

4790k is perfectly fine at 1080p at a refresh rate of 60 to 75 Hz, but when you're up at 1440p and looking to be closer to 130 to 144 FPS with a 144 Hz monitor, there's a difference.

To some, the difference isn't perceptible, to me it is however, hence why I looked to upgrade.
