How can I see whole system CPU and GPU usage?

I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere else already but my search results are turning up lot's of threads about high CPU usage but none about the CPU meter at the bottom of OBS.

This is a somewhat helpful meter and has saved my butt a couple of times. But it doesn't show me the overall CPU utilization only the percentage that OBS is using. Every once and a while a background service will decide to hammer the CPU (I'm looking at you Chrome) this of course causes some small blips in the stream, so I leave Process Explorer open in the taskbar to see how the laptop is doing.
I know there are some plugins to show that infromation onscreen and I could kludge that with making a scene and and making that scene a projected window that's always on top but that's inefficient and takes up screen real-estate.
It would be awesome if I could show the system CPU and GPU load in the OBS window.
Is it possible?

Thanks,
MattBatt

Well glad I had Process Explorer open today. Windows update process called tiworker.exe decided to start eating up 20% processor in the middle of my show.

Better late than never:- hit Windows Key + g then pin the performance window.
Hit Win + g to unpin.
