I agree with @spotter that it's the CPU: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+2600X&id=3235
Especially for games which occupy a single core, which unfortunately is most games.
I'd say the graphics card is fine https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-6700-xt.c3695 , but... depending on what else you're powering from that PSU (i.e. USB peripherals, case fans, lighting) that you're near the limit of that PSU too... unlikely to be the bottleneck, that's more likely the CPU. but you're not helping the GPU and whole system if you're near the power limits.
The machine as you've listed the components should be a great mixed-use work machine, probably pretty damn good at A/V things, but yeah it's going to struggle with gaming. I'm not sure I'd try and fix that TBH, especially not with a work machine... the rabbit hole is deep and after only a few decisions I'd have said that buying a PlayStation is cheaper and more effective.

I've finally replaced my decade old GTS 450 with an AMD 6700XT and so far I'm a little underwhelmed. Whilst everything is working fine I was expecting a little more. I bought this for work and just general performance really. I definitely didn't buy it to play games, but lets just say I did want to play a game. Warzone is giving me 50 to 70 FPS on just high settings at 1080p upscaled, that doesn't seem right to me.
I've done a load of house keeping, installed the drivers nicely after using DDU, updated chipset drivers and bios. Could it be my CPU causing a bottleneck? (I don't exactly know what that means). There's also a dual bios switch on the GPU but I left that as it came.
