I dislike asking a noob question, but I remember a site where you could input your build components and it would explain compatibility and bottleneck details. Thank You

Regarding bottlenecks, it largely depends on your workload and even varies from game to game. The best approach is to look up your configuration (CPU + GPU) on YouTube and find videos showing benchmark results.

In addition to what he mentioned, all bottleneck calculators are essentially worthless; don't bother using them.

All bottleneck calculators are flawed, unfortunately. They struggle with too many variables to work correctly. For example, I play WoW, which is very CPU-intensive, and an x3d chip is the top choice, whereas you could be playing FFXIV that runs smoothly on an i5 13600k compared to a 7800x3d.

Alternatively, you can request build guidance in this area. Providing country/currency and budget details, the components required, what you already possess, and the anticipated games and performance will suffice to begin.
