I have been using this pc for about a year now and when playing at 1080p, i didnt get 100%cpu usage before tho.

I have had this pc for about a year now. I have a i7 9700k cpu and RTX 2070 gpu. Recently, I noticed that I was getting 100% cpu usage while gaming (Valorant, GTA V, CSGO). While playing Valorant, I noticed that the game itself was taking over 70% of cpu usage and a little more than 50% gpu usage and around 60% memory. Same with GTAV. I have two monitors 75hz, 60hz both plugged into the graphic card. I have already tried updating the chipset and graphic drives using the DDU method but nothing changed. When I am not playing any games the cpu usage is <10% overall. I dont remember this happening before at all. I have linked a picture of the cpu usage with the temp while playing Valorant. I play on 1080p fullscreen, high settings with no fps cap.

So this is my first time ever getting a PC in general. I have watched a lot of pc builds and still have problem choosing the parts properly. Here is the plan so far: (budget 1500$, hoping to cut of some, so may be lower) Here are the parts so far, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cRtJb8 Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor Corsair H100i RGP PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Coller Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4- 32000 Memory Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Samsung 970 Evo 500 GM M.2 - 2280 NVME Solid State Drive Asus GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB STRIX GAMING OC Video Card Cougar MX330-G ATX Mid Tower Case EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply So according to the pcpartpicker, there are some compatibility notes saying: Note:The Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. Note:The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled. Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders. And I have no idea what that means. So I need some suggestions if what I picked is decent. I want to be able to play games in high settings keeping in mind that the pc will be able to play future games in high settings as well and also it will last for 2-3 years or more and there is room for upgrading in the future. The budget is actually around 1500$ max but I want to be able to find some room to lower the price.
