There are a number of 4C/8T CPUs. You have to give specifics or it's like asking you if you think a green car would be a good purchase.
 


4c/8t does well for BF1, as the 8700K only had about a 1-2 fps lead in average framerates at 1080P, but, that might change when not GPU limited, as BF1 is GPU-limited even at 1080P with a GTX1080Ti...
 
But, even so, I'd sure be recommending starting any gaming rig around an 8700K, 8600K if possible....8400 if on a budget!

(looking forward to seeing how Ryzen 2700X does within a week or so! I hope they nip at Intel's heels, which will drive the competition/performance, and, hopefully.. prices lower)
