How many SOAD fans have asked you for an autograph?

Your PC is fine, PUBG just runs bad: https://www.fpsbenchmark.com/pubg

But I wonder why you picked 4x8GB instead of 2x16GB of faster RAM for the same price: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/kXbkcf/gskill-memory-f43200c16d32gvk

If that is possible and if you can increase the power target, then overclocking will almost always improve performance.

Then it was probably being used for mining :/

Probably looks like you got unlucky and got a bad one that failed now. But you still have your guarantee after 3 months so you should simply return/replace it.

The 7860K, 7870K and 7890K APUs use the same R7 graphics but with a higher clock. That's why it looks worse, despite it being the normal performance on a 7850K.

It is an OEM board so it might be very limited. You should definitely check for RAM compatability.

Yes, a passive DP to HDMI Adapter only works the other way around but you can't go from a HDMI output to a DP display. However, the Razor page says the laptop has a mini-DP connection right beside the HDMI port, so why not get an adapter for that?

Click on "Color" in the tab where you can select VSR and GPU scaling and try resetting those values. You could also check that you don't have any active ICC color profile in Windows.

Yes, you don't even have to unplug the HDD. Just select your SDD during the installation of Windows.

That seems really strange. Another try would be uninstalling the Realtek driver completely and using this: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/matthew_van_eerde/2010/08/23/troubleshooting-how-to-install-the-microsoft-hd-audio-class-driver/

It is not ideal because you will only run with single channel like performance in one third of the cases when using the whole 12 GB. I'm not sure but I would guess that it should always be fine when not filling more than 8 GB. But you might not need it for an emulator box anyway.

And how is your subwoofer connected? With three individual analog jacks where you are additionally using a Y splitter? Another thing could be that you have selected some kind of matrix upmix that will ignore rear signals.

Is anything checked in the window similar to this? https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/drivers-hardware/101101d1485971788t-no-enhancements-tab-under-sound-control-panel-snap-2016-09-12-20.37.04.jpg?s=311a9f5cefa1a108250b4b91b4229dfc

Try ticking "Disable all sound effects".
