It seems your rig is facing much more serious issues than just memory usage from games. Have you recently added any new software? Did you look for errors in the Event Viewer or visit any dubious sites? You might need to scan your PC. Also, don’t forget—your drive has only 4GB left, which is a clear warning, especially if you haven’t updated your SSD yet.
1TB M.2 is available now for just 50USD from reputable manufacturers like Crucial, eliminating the need to search extensively for discounts.
Proceed with cleaning up system files. This will help identify outdated installers and old System Restore points. You may need to organize your homework folder and Linux ISOs, or relocate some to another drive. Occasionally, you simply have to remove unnecessary items.
You should allocate room for a page file to enable virtual RAM, preventing crashes.
Agreed on what needs fixing, especially if you're working with a limited budget and can't afford a new SSD soon. Scan your system and remove anything you don’t use or need. If you have extra USB drives, fill them with photos or videos you no longer require. Act quickly—once your SSD fills up, it won’t store large files efficiently and the wear will accelerate. This also helps explain why some games behave strangely; they rely on writing to disk and using VRAM for quick access. Keeping memory caches and RAM in use is crucial, as it prevents the SSD from becoming overwhelmed. Running out of space fast can cause performance drops and even lead to failure sooner than expected.
You're considering a new PC build, and the link you shared looks promising.
Review your listing carefully—several items appear duplicated. Also, the AIO should include fans, but it seems the case might not have them. Could have been a website glitch; maybe you double-clicked many entries. At 2300 USD, it’s a great budget, though not matching the overall value you’re getting. LOL
If you cut back on extra spending on flashy items, you might still get something like a 4080.
