Poor performance in new build

Like the title says, I recently built a new pc and have been playing some games on it and have noticed odd issues even when nothing seems to show up in HWinfo and msi overlay shows low load and temps.

The build is a 5070ti, 9800x3d, Gigabyte B850, WD Black SN850X, and 32GB of DDR5 ram.

I started with elden ring since it seemed like it would be easy enough and while it seemed to struggle a bit with Ray tracing I just figured thats a ray tracing thing so I turned that off. But then every now and then the game will completely freeze for several seconds. It doesn't seem to have any pattern to it. Some areas also seem to lag a bit but the performance overlay doesnt show me dipping below 60FPS. I also noticed some pop in but didn't know if that's just the game since it's been a while since I played.

MHWilds ironically seemed to have little to no issues. Maybe some textures seemed janky in the environment but I chalked that up to DLSS and just how the game looks.

I also played No Man's Sky and that had it's own issues at various performance settings. There seemed to be a bit of stuttering and textures seemed to load or not load oddly. Like when entering a space station it would lag quite a bit and a lot of the ships that land seemed to have missing textures that would appear as i got closer, but if i look away, they would disappear again when i turned around, kind of fading in and out.

Have no clue what the issue might be or if I'm missing drivers or something? I downloaded the latest drivers foe mobo, cpu, and gpu, and windows downloaded other drivers during setup as it would.

I guess if there's anything marginally odd its that my hwinfo mentioned that at some point CPU usage hit a max of 99.6 percent and utility of 110 percent. Again, Idk if this even is out of the norm, but as far as I can tell, nothing seems to be indicating an issue.
