Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
This would be a monitor that shows usage of different variables such as:
- CPU Usage
- GPU Usage
- RAM Usage
- Network Usage
- Framerate
- CPU temp
- GPU temp
Ideally this would be something that is more condensed than task manager and can be somewhat customized to be "Gamer friendly"
### Scenario when this would be used?
This would be used during any resource heavy event or to help someone tell if there is another issue with the computer such as bad airflow causing things to heat up or malware sucking resources away.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing existing PowerToys utilities and how they expose configurable desktop UI, then determine the supported sources for CPU, GPU, RAM, network, framerate, and temperature metrics. Done means a scoped design and implementation plan exists for a customizable, condensed gamer-focused monitor.
