Is the G4560 that good? 

I mean I'd be losing four cores, despite gaining a lot in speed. I just don't see how that is a worthy tradeoff. 

It's better but I'm suggesting due to dirt cheap pricing right now (saw a g4560 + H110 for 100 USD on hardwareswap)

Thats a much more attractive option, thanks!

Yup, the i3 8100 is the Bae option, an 8400 is awesome

Does the i3 8100 come with a stock cooler to save some $$$$?

Honestly, for the length of time you waited, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just splurge on an 8700K build.

 

What video card are you running anyway?

I have a GTX 970 from ASUS. 

An 8700K might bottleneck that, and for what I use my rig for I don't really have to upgrade it in my opinion.

Put cpu+cooler+mb+ram on ebay,  add 100$ or so, buy ryzen 3 1200 + b350 + ddr4 memory and overclock the cpu if desired.

So how much are you willing to pay for his CPU+cooler+mb+RAM combo exactly?

An 8700K will not bottleneck that at all!
