So i just built my new pc yesterday (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QnyQJ8) and ive been having some issues with it.
It started with driver issues, i was getting a few bluescreens here and there and maybe me trying to run the ram at 3200 was part of the problem so i just decided to reinstall windows and have a fresh start.
No bluescreens anymore, im now letting the ram run at the original 2133Mhz it was running but im getting terrible stuttering and fps drops in games that should run more than fine ( League of Legends and Apex are the only ones i tried since i dont have other games downloaded yet).
I've tried updating the BIOS, reinstalling GPU drivers and checking for windows updates. At one point it was working almost fine (still stutters but way less than before) so i tried running the ram at 2500 and the stutters just came back even after changing the ram back to 2133.

I have no clue what do to now so any help would be appreciated.

I also seems to have very low quality audio in League of Legends, everything else has normal audio.
I've tried reinstalling realtek audio drivers but it didnt help.

ZOMFG! Asrock Extreme4 Mobo.... probably you got a lemon Mobo (a very bad lemon).

sorry to being a harbinger of bad news but Asrock (particularly the Extreme variants) is a BIG FAT NO-NO for me.

My experience with an Asrock Extreme mobo 5 years ago...

I'll bet you my house, cars, and my girls the culprit is the Mobo. If I we're you, I'll return that Assrock mofo and demand for a replacement mobo of other brand i.e. Gigabye, Asus, or MSI.
