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 (28%)

Your GPU is the limiter at 1080p across 5 demanding games (esports excluded) — exactly what you'd expect for high-res gaming. A stronger GPU is the highest-leverage upgrade.

Compatibility

All checks pass

Power

PSU Sufficient · 391W draw / 650W

Physical fit

GPU + cooler clear the case
