Biggest non-performance spend: CPU cooler (+$955 over a solid baseline) — shifting that toward the GPU buys more frames.

Why these are estimates?

These numbers are model-predicted averages, not measured benchmarks of your specific system. Treat them as ballpark guidance, not a promise. Real framerate depends on:

Your full system (RAM speed, storage, drivers, OS, background load)
In-game scene complexity, multiplayer player count, mods
Driver updates and game patches after this estimate was made
Display, thermals, and how your case manages airflow

If you want a measured number for your specific build, the only reliable answer is to benchmark it yourself once you own the parts.

Balance

GPU-bound (58%)

Both CPU and GPU sit at entry-level / legacy, but 1080p gaming leans hard on the GPU — a stronger GPU at this CPU tier would unlock more frames. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.
