You seem to have forgotten about the processor, memory, case, and many other components needed for building an expensive computer

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

Because these stuff are not important for an 8k kit, but if you are going to build a full computer then you need them

Resolution doesn't affect CPU load.

Obviously, but good luck playing any games (on any resolution) without a CPU
