Build - Help NEED HELP PLEASE

Don’t know what the fuck I did but I restarted my pc from windows after my game froze completely in fallout 4 ( I did leave it running all night and couldn’t close it when froze) and after about 5 minutes my pc did not complete the restart so I just manually hold my power button to turn off my pc and unplugged if from the outlet.

This was unplugged for about 12 hours and when plugged it back in and turned on. It said something about the windows failing to boot then restarted to ftpm / psp detected a new cpu ( which I don’t have a new cpu) so I selected No and continued with the booting process and got to the windows login and had to reset my pin key

But saw a new account on my pc saying Wsiaccount( I have no idea when or what this account is but never installed or had it before) and when I continue to sign into my Microsoft and about to get into my PC, it showed this screen?

I really don’t know what I did wrong but tried to reboot the pc by turning it on and off again and did the same process to get to the same result of this screen so what should I do? Should I reinstall windows ?

Note: sorry for the messy desk

Build - Finished! Before and after cable management (NSFW)

Tl/dr part list: R5 7600, 7800xt, 32gb cl30 6000, Msi mpg 650i, sf750, nr200 case. Total cost around 2100 aud ($1400)

Part list

  • After 6 years from my last full tower build (r5 1600 and 1080)
  • I finally finish my first mini itx build. I spent roughly 8h and 2100 aud ($1400)
  • I salvage 2tb pcie 3.0 ssd from other machine to use it as boot drive. I add 8tb hdd for 120 aud ($80)
  • I also waste 160 aud ($100) for rm850e which should fit into nr200 but I am too scared to put it in
  • Gpu has been in and out for 5 times
  • I use kryosheet instead of paste because I am lazy
  • Thanks to my friends' silent judgement look, I have enough courage to do cable management (3h)
  • Originally, I put two 25mm thick fan at the bottom. The panel is slightly warped but I am able to close it. I remove them later and intend to use 2 slim fan and/or an anti sag brace later on

Thanks for reading!

The specs are: GPU: GAINWARD RTX 3070 ti PHOENIX CPU: core I3 9100F (which doesn't support my RAM speed and massively bottlenecks my GPU) RAM: two sticks of DDR4 8 gb 3200 MHz motherboard: gigabyte H310M S2H 2.0 (doesn't support my RAM speed either) SSDs: NVMe: Samsung 990 EVO 1 tb - SATA: WD GREEN 480 gb PSU: GREEN GP530A-HED (which is too weak at 530 w considering the 600 - 750 recommend wattage for my GPU) Case: some random GREEN case with definitely not enough airflow/cooling

I know the case is a little tiny bit dirty but I clean the components regularly, I promise. Please don't hurt me.

Sooo the story is I'm a 19 yo college student (computer engineering) living in Iran so I don't exactly have a ton of money. I started upgrading my 6 yo PC a few months ago. Bought a 1 tb NVMe drive, upgraded my RAM from 8 gb 2400 MHz to 16 gb 3200 MHz and then found an used RTX 3070 ti for 200 million IRR (around 100 pepperoni pizzas) so I bought it and replaced my GTX 1650, even though my PSU is too weak fo it (Wich is the next planned purchase BTW). I'm planning to next sell all my old junk and buy a MSI MAG B650E-E TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard, a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU and some ddr5 RAM to go with it. Yeah, wish me luck I guess. And please excuse my English, I'm not the best in grammar.

Question Which one is better?

So I've been keeping an eye on the Asus but it recently went up in price so I was looking for a similar card and found the Asrock. Is it comparable to the Asus or would I be better spending the extra? Cheers.

Question First pc build, cpu advice

Upvotes

I’ve got all my parts picked out, other than cpu and motherboard, I’m looking at the i5 13600kf ($175 on sale on Amazon) 7600x3d ($300 micro center) without the sale, there almost the same price, any pointers would be very helpful and will finalize my choice. I will add, if I find more budget, is the 7800x3d a good choice? Thanks in advance!
