My computer is slowing down and stuttering during games such as Back 4 Blood and Rainbow Six Siege. I've done everything from resetting it to factory settings and adjusting the graphics to lower presets. This is really frustrating because I invested a lot in my PC and it's not performing well.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I've attempted various solutions such as factory resetting my PC and adjusting graphics settings to lower presets.
Please clarify your approach so we don't repeat steps that didn't help before this discussion began.
Here are my system details:
Specs: 15 14600k, 32GB RAM, 16GB GSKILL 3000 MHz, Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200MHz, GTX 4070, Gigabyte B760.
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide your full system specifications. List them clearly as follows:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU, along with its make and model. Also, mention the BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
Additionally, avoid mixing different RAM kits—use one kit consistently. For your situation, I recommend sticking to the Corsair RAM kit.

Additionally, storage can significantly affect stuttering; your storage details weren't included.

What was the most recent time you modified the BIOS? Also, consider installing RTSS and examine the frame times along with CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM, and other metrics.

Adjusting the RAM in that way might be the reason. You should consider getting a different kit. It would be best to check fast 2x 16gb kits with 3600mhz or higher speeds. Your chip's IMC is quite high and can likely manage faster RAM if your motherboard supports it.

It has been noted before that you should focus on your RAM. Not only does a mismatch in frequency reduce speeds to the slowest common rate, but timing differences can also lead to various problems, such as performance issues. Additionally, XMP support isn't available in your BIOS, which means you're missing out on significant performance gains. Checking your motherboard's support page shows this RAM is a great match.
