My advice is probably worst , Go for flagship CPU on whatever platform at said time, All flagship CPUs will do job as planned this also for obvious reasons restricts or minimises GPU bottlenecks on GPU you may choose !
Plus you need a good CPU for intense usage games like City Skylines 2 an planet Coaster 2 !
I'm team Intel because despite problems 13900k an 14900k were exceptionally good all rounders not just an excellent gaming cpu !

That hair, Stop shouting Tin Tin.

Seems you require a haircut

Ask youself: How long will you replace your computer? 5 years? 10 years?

okay, here's a question, How do I figure out what the hell my "use case" is???

Why not GamersNexus as an option, Why? Why?!!!

this is the best genre to edge to

when it comes to a specific item, like just a GPU, having a strict budget can be more awkward sometimes, It's better to have a sort of range, especially if you don't know what to expect for price to performance, have a base line you start at and then a theoretical maximum that you are willing to stretch to if it's meaningful.
For example if you give a strict budget of only 200 and start looking at just that, you may find that due to gaps in pricing, one good one may be around 160, but you may find that at 215 or so you get a significant performance benefit, that is out of your budget of 200 but may better fit the pricing window you are looking for.

TL;DR since prices can vary so much, having a lower limit and an upper stretch limit window is better than a strict budget IMO

I wish swapping my CPU was as easy as the GPU

it's really easy for me to choose. I don't get a choice, I can't afford any GPU right now, and won't likely be able to until demand collapses into nothing, because prices are about triple what they should be.
