I use a 55" 60hz 4k tv as my monitor is that a major problem ? Ive been looking into monitors and im not sure what to get yet

Main issue im having with this set up is random freezing/lag moments, say i try to minimize my game and it'll take about 10 to 20 seconds before returning to the desktop screen
Or i try to open start menu and it takes about 10 to 20 seconds to open, if not longer at times.

Once im in a game everything seems to run fine but switching too many windows at the same time, can lag/freeze my computer or certain programs at the time, until it comes back a few moments later

I use a 49" tv as a monitor and have no problemes. Up your ram multipleir to 26,66. It looks to me your ram is slow. Is your ram in correct slots to run in daul channel mode?

Is your 9600k overclocked?

Yes its running on dual channel
Not overclocked yet

I was expecting the RX 580 to be the weak link, especially since you play at 4K.....but your issue sounds more like bad HDD/SSD speed. I've had failing HDDs exhibit the same symptoms (general sluggishness when switching or firing up programs). Unstable RAM OC can also do that, but I see you're not overclocking it. 2666Mhz should be plenty for simple tasks such as switching programs when gaming. I know that from experience (look at my sig).

Ive been having this problem since i got the computer built new
Would that help narrow it down or would it still probably be hdd/ssd or unstable ram

Guess ill have to make a trip to the store!

Probably upgrade my ram anyway
What would you recommend for ram and a better ssd
Also want the ssd to be a boot

Highly unlikely for bad storage drive, unless you really got unlucky back then. In my experience, the unstable RAM OC shows the same sluggishness only when the usage exceeds one stick (probably better binned than the other). But even then, that's when I'm asking an extra 25% of the RAM speed. Mind that at 1.35V, I'm running it just before the edge of stability since the stock specs (no XMP support) is 2666Mhz CL19....I now run it at 3200Mhz CL17, any tighter and OCCT will throw errors near the 25 minute mark.
Yours is stock, so unlikely to have the same root cause as mine. If I were you, I'd try moving the Windows and apps to another known good drive (SSD preferable, but any modern HDDs will do) and see how it goes.

get an asus monitor. 165/144hz are the best options(144hz is better cuz barely any difference in performance. only in price.) also ur ram is wayy too slow. buy some 3200mhz or 3600mhz. also you might not be using ur rams fun attentional if u haven't ever oced it.

What i failed to highlight as well is that the freezing problem im getting happens under miniscule load too, no games open, open say control panel and documents at the same time or whilst one of the opposite is open and bam it freezes my computer, bout 10 seconds later its back and working smooth
This seems to happen with everything in otherwords
