I would go AMD still to retain some upgradability as well as the affordable prices.

Make sure you flash your bios to the latest version as older ones that come with the board won't support newer processors.

Thank you, the picture is very helpful. Your ram chips are not samsung chips, which isnt a problem, this just tells me how high your memory realistically can go. Do not use the XMP settings as they will not work with your processor. If you are comfortable keying in settings manually, here is...

Are you getting less frames in games? Can you post pictures of your Frequency and voltage tabs in the bios?

Ram problems aside, I am wondering what you were thinking when you paired a 3080 with a first gen ryzen processor. The processor can barely keep up with a 10 series graphics card. Considering you are running a 3080, which is miles ahead of a 1080ti, you should really consider upgrading your...

Never knew that, although having aida installed in the system, I do not use the program anymore for stress testing. My recommendations were purely from my experience with stress testing and system stablility.

Try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely wipe your old drivers (or any attempts to install), and download the latest nvidia drivers. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html The program recommends running in safe mode but I have never had an...

Unfortunately for your system, it is hard to find a combo that leaves an upgrade path and still be affordable. -Going newer intel will cost you an arm and a leg and it still won't have great IPC... 8700k is just okay if you want to upgrade your gpu in the future. -Getting amd is more affordable...

Ok, can you describe what kind of driver issues you have? Is it GPU, USB, or something else?

Aida 64 is not a very good cpu test. Try using p95 as sometimes running aida for hours straight will still result in bsods in certain applications such as games and rendering.

Unless ur using Gen 4 NVME drives or something that requires the bandwidth of gen4, you don't really need gen 4.

This is a very indepth guide for your build. I recommend listening to this guy. He spent the effort writing this.

What are you using your computer for? Get the B550 if you are only gaming, the x570 is unnecessary unless you do video editing or more demanding tasks. From what I can tell the parts looks pretty good. Maybe get a faster ram kit like 3600mhz if you are not confortable overclocking your ram. I...

MSI afterburner has a overlay that displays your cpu gpu usage and temps on your screen even while you're full screen

Theres a 95 percent chance it will be fine. The new ryzens have much better memory controllers compared to the older ones and they will work with just about any memory.
