I figured it out. The answer is im an idiot. I had to send my 3700x back so im using a 3200G, which uses pcie 3.0 x8. Thanks for your help though.

My Radeon software says my 5700xt is currently using pcie 3.0 x8. Ive got an x570 motherboard so its capable of pcie 4.0, though I know there wouldn't be any difference between 3.0 and 4.0 for the 5700xt, would the x8 instead of x16 have an effect on performance? Also, even if it doesn't actually have an affect on performance, why is it not using the best available settings anyway?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

No, x8 is more than enough bandwidth for a 5700XT.  Shouldn't see any degradation of performance.
