PSU came in this morning. After some inital stress tests, it did seem to be a psu issue. I plan to try more testing tomorrow.
ON a side note, I'm surprised to hear from people here and elsewhere, that on the console side, 30 fps is acceptable and sometimes even preferred going into next gen. That's unfathomable to me but I guess after the time and resources I've put into my PC, I can understand why 30 fps won't cut it for me.
After a few days of synthetic and real life testing, I have not had any crashes so the likely culprit of my problem was the PSU. In all my years of building PCs for myself and family, I've never had a PSU fail before thus my loss at the situation.

According to @kopite7kimi, a leaker on Twitter, the RTX 3070 will be equipped with the GA104-300 GPU, featuring 2944 CUDA cores and paired with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The RTX 3070 Ti is rumoured to use the full power of the GA104 GPU (GA104-400), with 3072 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6X memory. The account also shared TDP numbers, with the standard RTX 3070 said to use 220W, while the Ti equivalent is rated for 250W. - Source
I hate that they are going up on the TDP numbers so much.
Whew. The TDP for a 2080TI is at 250W, if the 3070 TI is the same, I can't imagine what its going to be for the 3080 TI or the rumored 3090. And the prices for these things, unless AMD puts out a competitive product with Big Navi, are going to be through the roof.

Over $4000 to surpass the ps5 but no gaming software will use the tech.
Yes until games are written/developed to take advantage of such ssds, I'd wager that on PC you won't see much difference from a Sata 3 ssd, NVME v3, or nvme v4 in games.
One thing we should stress is that some older DX12 graphics cards will not the run game. We were keen on try the PC version of Death Stranding using a 4GB version of the R9 270X - the closest PC equivalent to the original PS4's GPU. However, the game demands a minimum of the DX12 12_0 feature set, and first-gen GCN cards top out at the 11_1 feature level. According to Kojima Productions, DX12's tiled resources feature is used in Death Stranding for improved GPU memory management. - Source
Resolution has by far the biggest impact on performance, and at least there are some innovative options here. AMD's contrast adaptive shading renders at 75 per cent of the native resolution in both vertical and horizontal axes, then sharpens the image based on contrast at minimal cost. The results are broadly OK, but are totally eclipsed by Nvidia DLSS 2.0 support. Performance and quality options are available, using AI upscaling from 50 per cent to 67 per cent respectively, again on both axes. This allows an overclocked RTX 2060 to hit 4K60 in performance mode (!) while the quality preset delivers better-than-native image quality. Nvidia's so impressed with the results, it's bundling Death Stranding with RTX GPUs. - Source
Digital Foundry had to lock Watch Dogs 3 to 30 fps at 1080p with a 2080ti with Ray tracing enabled.
Digital Foundry On Death Stranding:
So it looks like you could exceed the minimum requirements for performance with a GTX 780, but not be able to start the game because it doesn't have the 12_0 feature level. It even says it a DX 12 card.
Wow, an RTX 2060 is looking pretty good right now for DLSS.
Got me some new parts, used my old GTX 1080, then got : Fractal Design Meshify C case, Cooler Master MWE Gold PSU 750W , Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED, ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F GAMING Motherboard, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz and Intel Core i5 9600K 3.7GHz

It is the most quiet computer I ever had
That top fan. What is that plugged into?
Be interesting to see how the consoles fair. If a 2080TI is struggling with RTX the new consoles are going to fair worse.
Well I went did a little thing...................I bought a Ryzen 3900X because it was 389.99 with free one day shipping on Amazon. Anyone wanna buy a 3700X? lol
I wanted a 3700x when I was doing my build but all Amazon had in stock at the time was 3800x.
My RX 480 starting to show its age. I don't really have a preference for video card although now that I have an AMD processor I just figured I'd stay with AMD for everything plus the price point is a big factor. With the 3000 series supposed being at least unveiled soon I'll wait for that. Not sure what AMD has coming anytime soon though.
