What background processes? From the get go windows is running with game mode which limit backround processes while gaming. If you got 8gb or less, you might want to upgrade to 16gb.

CPU: Ryzen 5800X3D | Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Elite V2 | RAM: G.Skill Aegis 2x16gb 3200 @3600mhz | PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750 G3 | Monitor: LG 27GL850-B , Samsung C27HG70 | 
GPU: Red Devil RX 7900XT | Sound: Odac + Fiio E09K | Case: Fractal Design R6 TG Blackout |Storage: MP510 960gb and 860 Evo 500gb | Cooling: CPU: Noctua NH-D15 with one fan

That's not really possible. No program can take control of the memory another program is using (for security reasons, among other things). Windows should already favor foreground applications, meaning it will try to move the memory used by background processes to swap space when possible.

 

There is a way to configure it to favor programs over background processes, but that is the default (unless you're running a server edition of Windows): https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/2-ways-to-set-cpu-priority-to-prefer-foreground-apps.html.

You can simply disable all the services you don't need (Open start menu and type "services.msc"). Just make sure you don't stop/disable something essential.

Or go to task manager and stop all programs you don't want to start  crtl+shift+esc -> start and services is also lacated there.
