Sounds like maybe you're the one that needs to open Task Manager more often?

Tthe ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi is good board but memory picky and some issue with BT, but new beta BIOS was just released to fix those issue.

Thank you for your answer! 32gb would be a good start, only that I was thinking something under $700 lol
For this price its hard to beat this kind of performance. The 265k isnt the best gaming CPU, but it still is a top tier gaming CPU. For context the difference between the very best gaming CPU and the 265k is 8% at 1440p with a 4090, 3% at 4k. If you have a weaker GPU than a 4090 the gap shrinks further. Obviously if you play at 1080p the gap increases more, but nobody is buying a top tier CPU and using a 1080p monitor, even many esports pros have moved to 1440p.
Beyond gaming performance alone, its a very good overall CPU. Remember the best gaming CPU I was comparing it to? The 265k is +50% faster in multithreaded workloads than it, while being on average more energy efficient.
16GB isnt ideal, but very workable for most games and something you can easily upgrade later on or just immediately sell the kit and buy a 32GB one.
So yeah, i'd highly recommend this for basically anyone that has a reasonable budget. The best gaming CPU alone is $472, which is $100 more than this combo and you dont get a motherboard or RAM or free games...
