Ram Prices are ridiculous! I built mine before the prices went up, wished I would have doubled my Ram. I build the AMD 7900 x3d, 32 gigs ram and a 4070 super. It doesn't even sweat on Freeze Tag. Really drove me nutz when I was still seeing stutter and lag in game and I went down a rabbit hole trying to tweak it and find what background process was giving me grief. I went back and played Crysis after I built it and the Visuals in game are sweet. Crysis looked good on the old AMD 2600x and 1080 but the frame rate is definitely higher on this AMD. Did you buy a CD-key for Windows 11 instead of a retail copy? I've been doing that for a few years. Also - when you install windows 11 - do everything you can to make it a local account only - do not create a microsoft log in. I unplug my network cable so it has to do a local account for me. I recently read that microsoft has created a GDID for every windows user that uniquely identifies you. You can read a little about it here: Ghostlupus 1
