Before I'd buy something like a 5090, I'd definitely swap out that entire platform. There are AAA games where you'll definitely end up CPU limited before you reach anywhere near 120 FPS. Spending 2k for 60 FPS feels wrong imo. Even if you take it to 120 or 240 with frame gen, you'll get a worse image in return and then why even bother with 4k?
