Unless you're a competitive gamer, and young with very good vision, keeping above 100fps at 1440p or better, you're very unlikely to notice the difference. Very few people genuinely notice the difference. I ran a 3600 while waiting for a 3950X, and if I had it to do over, would probably have just gone 3900X to start with... For the most part, I don't notice the difference, only after I'm running a couple databases and a few services that are active to I even come close to seeing a difference in general use. I know GPU and Monitor options are similar, and CPU/GPU combination in terms of balance are important. Unless you're going RTX 2080 or higher, then it's much less of a difference in general use anyway.
