Hello there! I have an i5-9400F, GTX 1650 GDDR6 and 16 gb ram ddr4. Since I had AC Unity on my PS4 and enjoyed it a lot, now I want to buy it on my PC. But when I searched for videos I saw that the cpu usage is almost every time 100%.

If I buy it on PC, can I do something about that high usage? For example, if I limit the frames at 30, or lower the resolution, or I don't really know. It would be a bother to have CPU 100% all the time. Also, how high the temps will be on both CPU/GPU? ( i know I included the GPU in the context, sorry) What's the safe temperature while playing games/idling?
 
Solution
Why it's better to use 100%? Doesn't that decreases the component's life span? What about the temps? What are the safe ones for CPU/GPU ?
If you buy a product,why not use all of its potential?
100% usage doesnt decrease components lifespan,overclocking can hurt your components if not done correctly,also constant high temps.
Usage doesnt affect a components lifespan,how do you think server computers can last many years,they are used 24/7 100% usage,same goes for mining rigs.
CPU,idle is preferable somewhere in the 30-35C,although there are some cpu's that operate at higher temps and its fine for them,the max temp in gaming i would allow is 80-85C,after that the cpu starts to thermal throttle (well some do).When benchmarking...
Your system is well over the recommended specs,you should be getting 60 fps with max settings on 1080p.
What temps will you get depends entirely on you.
What cpu cooler do you have?
When was the last time your repasted the CPU?
When was the last time you cleaned your GPU?

1. Since I didn't add anything at all, I suppose it's stock cooler. (default)
2,3. I have this PC since octomber 2020, so the thermal paste and dust shouldn't be a huge problem.

Also, how much cpu usage should I expect? If i limit the frames at 30 or lower some settings, can I keep it under 90% (or even better) ?

You shouldnt be worried about 100% usage,as long the temps are right.
Infact you are better of using 100% of your cpu,rather than 10%.

For GPU,idle depends on the GPU,for example my R9 380 idles at 30-35C,i've repasted it several times,alsways clean,some idle at 20C.In gaming the highest my GPU has gone is 88C,and thats normal for it,since its based on architecture that has higher temp tolerancy to increase its clock speed,oh yeah and i overclocked it so that is also raising temps 5-10C.The max i would allow in a benchmark is 95-100C.
