is a 100% CPU usage with an i7-7700 and GTX 1080 Ti normal?

I recently bought a new PC which I spent quite a lot on, here's a screenshot of some of the specs:

Isn't it unusual that my computer will be maxing the CPU usage with an i7-7700 and 16 gigs of ram in addition to a GTX 1080 Ti?
Here's the process that's using all the CPU, all it's doing is converting an mkv file to an mp4

maybe it's normal, I don't know, but all I know is that the i7-7700 is a very decent cpu and the gtx 1080 Ti is a beast graphics card so I'm quite worried that something's wrong.

For video conversion, yeah that is completely normal. If it were in a game then I would say it is a problem and your facing a CPU bottleneck. Again though that is using handbrake. 100% expected.

I figured it would make sense but I was still worried. Both answers are good and informative, thanks!

For gaming. Possible yes at 1080P depending on game settings, frame rate and and vsync usage. But for encoding regardless of the resolution his CPU would be slammed to 100%.
