Hi, welcome to the forum.

Every system will have a bottleneck somewhere, depending on the task at hand. This is what limits FPS.

For an average gaming load, we need to know the approximate age of the games (specific games would be even better!), resolution, and refresh rate, and the settings you want to play at.

 

You can also check this yourself by logging using a software like HWiNFO:

  • High CPU utilization, low GPU utilization: CPU is holding the system.
  • Equal, high utilization: System is balanced, and working hard.
  • Low CPU utilization, High GPU utilization: GPU is holding the system.
  • Both low, it gets complicated. It could be:
    • Memory is full, and swapping to disk is holding it
    • Game is only single threaded, look for high CPU core utilizations, but low overall usage
    • Game engine is unoptimized, and cannot use the hardware effectively at your settings
    • etc, etc.

Depends on the game and performance target. Anyone who says simply "yes" or "no" without knowing is not quite right.

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
