3070 is significantly faster, despite its limited VRAM If you want more VRAM as opposed to faster VRAM; AMD is always an option 3060 is not worth 700 dollars IMO if you are going to spend in that price bracket might as well buy once cry once. AMD cards are cheaper and have more VRAM you can get a 6900xt for the price of a 3070 right now.

Hey there it could be a couple of things. To change from PCIE 4 to 3 you can go into your bios and edit the setting IIRC the 3070 can run at full speed on PCIE3 as it doesn't saturate the bandwith When you say graphics crash, what is the error message?

Hey sorry for the late reply, I'm busy with work and have no real time to tackle this until tommorow, the ram I have is ddr4 g.skill assault series or something to that effect, all of these things including my 1080 functioned flawlessly in my old build

Okay so long story short, I purchased a new ryzen 3700x and an msi gaming pro x570 Following the movement of my GPU, ram, power supply and ssd, to the old case I've encountered boatloads of errors, upon setting up the pc the computer would blue screen and get bsod errors while installing windows, got around that by creating a boot media on a usb, installed windows and everything looked great for about 24 hours, under load even, but randomly I noticed the monitors will go black. The power on the pc will stay on and while the pc seems to reboot in the background. Upon restarting I'll get a bsod error of varying types, memory exceptions, missing drivers, just an absolute buttload of random stuff. So naturally I search online, try a whole slew of stuff through command prompt, sfc, rebuilding the boot.ini Absolutey nothing works. So then I start thinking its hardware related. All signs point to the psu, so I replace it and everything runs fine for a time, then same issue, uninstall windows; same issues. I then decided it was time to install windows again on a fresh ssd to rule that out, and now I'm back to square one with installing windows running into blue screens without having any files even on the computer. I've spent 800 dollars in like 2 weeks and I'm tired and frustrated and out of ideas.
