Gooootcha, gotcha. So, the method that worked for me was identifying the games I want to run at x FPS with y resolution. Looked at the hardware requirements for those games (lower and upper bounds). Use https://www.cpubenchmark.net and related sites to see what benchmark numbers those hardware components come in at. Then I started swapping out components in a default build and see if they hit within my benchmark bounds.
