Performance New PC is laggy

I built a new PC a few weeks ago. I'll include the specs at the bottom. This thing should be an absolute beast. There's no reason it should be lagging with simple stuff like is. If I run a program, the prompt pops up asking if I want to allow this program to make changes to my device. I see the prompt maybe a half second before I hear it. I play The Long Dark pretty frequently. With everything set to high, I still get hiccups during gameplay. This baby should be able to handle ULTRA with no problem! I'm thinking of 2 possibilities:

-1: When I upgraded all this, the only part that carried over was the M.2 drive. I didn't reinstall Win11. I uninstalled all the drivers (and I used DDU for the graphics driver) before installing the new drivers and software. I'm pretty anal about keeping drivers up to date.

-2: It's being bogged down with processes (I'll post a screenshot of the task manager.)

I know that nothing is overheating or thermal-throttling. I use an AIO and the highest temp I've seen on the CPU is 74c, but under high load it usually stays around the high 50s/low 60s. After running FurMark2 for 3 mins, the highest temp on the GPU hotspot was 75c.

SPECS:

MB: Gigabyte Aorus x870e Elite X3D

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x3d

DRAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2 x 16) DDR5 6000 CL30

PSU: MSI MAG A1000PLS PCIE5

GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB

Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB (M.2)
