Is there an exact algorithm for calculating the compatibility of component capacities?

Question

Iron

Goodnight.
For example, how can you know for sure if a powerful video card will hit a weak processor, except intuitively and at random? It's clear that, for example, the GTX 1080 is no match for any Celeron, but what about configurations that are closer in power?
Are there online calculators, or maybe recommendations from manufacturers (I personally didn’t find it), or is there nothing left but to listen to those who have already stumbled and be guided by the principle of “growth”? Now I'm choosing between GTX 1050TI and GTX 1060, and it's not entirely clear whether the second Pentium will pull (it's clear from the first one due to reviews from people with a similar stone).
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, the algorithm is very simple: we look at the level of electricity consumption in the manual / reviews / tests for each piece of iron, then add it all up in a column, add 10-20% on top for a reserve and plus another 10-20% for a reserve for the future (BP over time lose power), and we throw in some more reserve for the upgrade (for example, adding another one / two video cards requires a very powerful PSU). Plus, there are special resources on the network that allow you to roughly calculate the required power in the constructor.
