I did some research and would like to know if this would be a good psu to buy especially if I maybe decide to upgrade parts in the future.
I don't know what this is but I'm assuming its GPU related

Double check what you are getting, the description in the link say rm850e but the link takes you to the rm750e, complete with picture of a 750watt model.
If any PSU has 80+ Gold and 10year warranty, you'll be getting as good one.

Agreed on the PSU however the OP has other issues going on but being that they never acknowledged what was mentioned regarding them having the Windows Power Plan set to high performance and the PC not being set up correctly I did not chime back in, helpers should not have to interrogate members to get the required feedback 
Related thread XPS 8950, 460W PSU insufficient
Fwiw, the OP should not head off and purchase a more powerful PSU than what is required and reason being is that the present RTX 3060Ti GPU is a Dell branded card that has been dumbed down so as not to require as much power as a stock 3060Ti from Nvidea or third party brand such as EVGA or MSI to name just two, this done to save money and reduce heat both of which results in a performance hit and a bit more work with setting up.

Sorry for another late reply I didn't get a notification until Bruce's most recent reply. I set the power plan to high performance to get more performance out of my pc (I just follow what all the YouTube videos say to get me more fps in games). Also, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the PC not being set up correctly" if you could give me more information on that it'd be nice.Agreed on the PSU however the OP has other issues going on but being that they never acknowledged what was mentioned regarding them having the Windows Power Plan set to high performance and the PC not being set up correctly I did not chime back in, helpers should not have to interrogate members to get the required feedback

You are correct Bruce but as was mentioned in my reply #43 helpers should not have to interrogate members to get the required feedback and I for one won`t.
It is up to the OP of any thread to provide all required feedback and in a timely manner.

Just my personal opinion, if it was my rig, and if I was a into gaming...
Get a good PSU, as mentioned, lots of warranty, slightly more watts than current needs, at least 80+ Gold.
Also, good quality GPU, stock NVidia rather than Dell rebranded.
Then reload Windows, with only boot drive connected (no other drives), and network disconnected.
Use the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB stick (at least 8GB needed).
Boot from the USB, during install, delete all partitions (backup all personal files first!)
After Windows installs, load the chipset drivers (sound, network, etc) from the motherboard manufactures website (so download them prior to have ready).
Then load the GPU drivers.
Then connect to the network and let Windows activate and update.
Load a game and test how it goes.
I'll get @PeterOz to add anything I may have missed.

Have you tried DDU to cleanly uninstall the graphics driver then installed a fresh version of nVidia driver?
I've been planning on getting a new pc real soon anyway but I'll make sure to keep this in mind if I end up wanting to sell this one.Just my personal opinion, if it was my rig, and if I was a into gaming...

I have not tried that. Would this be the correct website to download DDU from?
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) download version 18.0.8.9
Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) - Remove AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL Graphics Drivers Cleanly - DDU is a driver removal utility that helps you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, leaving no leftovers behind, including registry keys, folders, files...
www.guru3d.com
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5257 Is the official download site. Current version is V18.1.1.0
Apologies for once again, another late reply. After using DDU to uninstall my drivers I noticed the graphics glitch went away but upon reinstalling my graphics drivers using NVCleaninstall this time rather than Nvidia app the issue had come back.
Because that is the correct thing to do and so works.
That is because it is the wrong thing to do, mentioned back in my replies #38 and #43 you have a dumbed down Dell branded GPU not a stock Nvidia chipped card, you do not use drivers for the GPU from anywhere else but Dell and in this instance you want Version 32.0.15.6624, A00
Create a new folder on your desktop and name it Dell RTX 3060Ti drivers, download and save to the folder the drivers from here
Run DDU to uninstall the present Nvidea drivers.
Restart and install the Dell RTX drivers that you saved to your folder, restart and test.
The reason why the card is classed as dumbed down is because Dell have reduced the cards performance and power demands and for the card to be able to work it has a Dell mapped video chip and Dell drivers written specifically for that chip, the full blown Nvidia drivers send too much power to the Dell card and things go wonky.
Being that the OP revisited the forum multiple times but chose not to acknowledge my reply this thread will be closed.
