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.
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

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.
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...
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.![]()
I have not tried that. Would this be the correct website to download DDU from?Have you tried DDU to cleanly uninstall the graphics driver then installed a fresh version of nVidia driver?
