Is a CPU bottleneck really that bad?

New battle station is together. There's a vertical RGB strip next to the side intake fans that isn't lit up, and I've got an adapter coming tomorrow that will let me sync the GPU RGB with all the rest of it, so hopefully I can fix the strip while installing the adapter.
Pretty pleased with the build though. It's running much cooler and quieter than my AM4 build was. I still need to do some BIOS tweaks, run benchmarks, memtest86, etc.
Storage out the ass on this. Plan is to have two drives for each OS and dual-boot Windows 11 and CachyOS.

Looking to build a basic media-center PC
Help with a laptop build?
No-start when adding an additional hard drive
hey hardware advice fedi,
so I've recently got a pci e card for more usb ports
but apparently I ordered a different thing than I thought
bc it's for a pci e x1 slot
but my CPU supports only Up to 1x16+4, 2x8+4
pci configurations
(if I didn't mess up, my nvme ssd is sata, not pci e. so only pci e in use is my gpu so far)
what do you think?
The first game I decided to play on my new PC was Skyrim and I think that may have been a mistake. I'm encountering bugs and I don't know if the problem is with my hardware, my Linux OS, or Bethesda's shoddy code.
