Which would make Intel a better choice for high-end 144+ fps gaming, which is a niche for sure.

Oh it's absolutely a niche.  Unfortunately waaayyyy too many people have been convinced that their games will be unplayable if they don't have a 144hz monitor (usually ends up being a TN panel, gross).

 

I've gone off on a handful of rants about the most recent Stupid Shit the "gamer" demographic has eaten up.  Like tacky racing-style computer chairs (the hell you need side bolsters for at your desk?).  Or that IPC has anything to do with clockspeed.  Or that CSGO and Overwatch are unplayable at below 60fps.  Or that a locked i5 that never goes above 4GHz is a better choice for gaming because a 5GHz 7600k looks awesome in benchmark comparisons.  I'll leave RGB alone because it's pretty fun and you can just turn it off, or just use it to customize the lighting color exactly how you want it.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.
