CPU Bottleneck

Having a bottleneck doesn't really decrease performance (inost cases anyway), it just reduces the amount of performance you can gain. Instead of getting an RTX card, maybe send that one back and get an i7 3770 and a GTX 1070 or something.  It'll give you an enormous performance boost.

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Agreed. That's probably your best bet rather than replacing your CPU and mobo.

Or at least it'll be cheader and more convenient

Surprised you can play with the 1060. The stutter makes it unplayable for me. Nothing more frustrating that lagging hardware.
