No luck running system at stock values, balanced power plan and updating the chipset drivers (tried the latest drivers and 2 previous ones) (I had windows 1903 already installed and up to date)

Could it be that my PSU is dying (though is only 10 months old) or can't handle my power requirements? or maybe is my CPU malfunctioning?

Sadly I don't have another monitor and speakers but I am going to give it a try using my tv and headset.

3 weeks ago I noticed that my computer started stuttering for a second or less while playing music, videos and videogames. Video and audio will stutter for a brief period of time randomly almost always 5 minutes after I begin playing media or randomly every 20, 30, 60 minutes or so. My specs are: Ryzen 2400G RAM 2 x 8GB Hyper X Fury 2400Mhz DDR4 Asrock X370 Taichi Samsung SSD EVO 850 500Gb (windows is installed in this drive) Toshiba HDD DT01ACA100 1TB Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming PSU EVGA 550 W L1 LG 27MK400H-B Monitor Windows 10 Pro version 1903 OS build 18362.175 In the previous weeks I have tried to identify what is causing the stuttering to no avail. While using Latency Monitor the "Highest measured interrupt to process latency" and "Highest reported DPC routine execution time" bars get red when the stuttering occurs, and gives me the same message telling me that "one problem may be related to power management, disable cpu throttling settings in control panel and BIOS setup". I have tried every fix internet recommends but nothing works. This is the list that things I have tried and failed: *Updating motherboard BIOS *Replacing motherboard (I had an Asus Prime B350M-a and just replaced it with a X370 taichi days ago) *Disabling C-States and Turboboost in BIOS *Disabling Power Throttling Using Group Policy *Clean Windows install *Remove GPU and HDD (stuttering persists on a clean Windows install without GPU and HDD) *Overclocking CPU *Running Windows Memory Diagnostic *Disabling W-LAN, Ethernet and Sound devices with Device manager *Disabling HPET (High Precision Event Timer) on Device Manager (board BIOS has no HPET option) *Changing Default Audio Format *Updating drivers *Installing a previous Windows 10 version *Disconnecting peripherals (stuttering persists with just mouse and keyboard connected) *Switching to High Performance or Ultimate Performance Power Plan *Checking HDD and SDD health *Checking if CPU and/or GPU overheats ===IMPORTANT=== Recently I discovered that if I switch power plans while playing music or video (offline or online) the stutter occurs immediately and also when launching HWINFO64 (with either option "Sensors-only" or "Summary-only"). Some other information that may help diagnose what the problem is: *I run my CPU and RAM overclocked to 3.8 Ghz and 2666 Mhz respectively (the stuttering persists with CPU and RAM default speeds). *I switched my GPU from a RX 480 8GB to a Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 10 days before I noticed the stuttering. *CPU and GPU temperatures are optimal all the time. Please help me diagnose what is happening with my PC. Thanks

The fact that my monitor is FreeSync capable wouldn't tip the balance in favor of the rx480? I mean, wouldn't the rx480 perform better with a monitor that has FreeSync enabled opposed to the gtx 1060 wich can't take advantage of FreeSync?

Hi, first of all sorry if my english seems broken, it isn't my first language. So, I just built my first PC and want to buy a graphics card for it, but I can't decide between a Radeon RX480 8GB or a GTX 1060 6GB. Both cards cost the same in my country and I don't know wich one will be the best option. My hardware specs are: Mobo ASUS Prime B350M-A AMD Ryzen 2400G 1 stick 8GB DDR4 RAM Kingston Fury Hyper X overcloked to 3000 MHz (I plan to buy another 8gb stick) SSD Samsung EVO 850 500GB LG 27inch monitor 27MK400H (FreeSync capable) PSU EVGA 500 W1 Case InWin G7 I plan to use my pc mainly for graphic design work and gaming. Wich card would be the best option?
