Haven't been in a while
 
Recently Upgraded my laptop with a new SSD
The 2TB 980 pro was on sale quite recently on Amazon for $180 and I managed to pick one up right before it sold out
My old SSD that came with my laptop is 500GB, which is pathetic for the intensive and epic variety gaming I do
 
Absolutely loving it so far with the freedom of downloading
 
Oh I also got new ram, pretty dope

This is good advice but it's worth explaining if some one doesn't know.
 
The purpose for top-of-the-line intel motherboard chipsets in the past was to allow users to manually overclock k-series CPUs, but as precision boost (automatic frequency adjustment) has improved over the years, the utility of manual overclocking has waned.  As things are now, precision boost will automatically raise the frequency of your CPU to it's thermal limit without any extra input from the user, so manually overclocking is effectively an obsolete practice.  Some users have been able to manually overclock Alder lake (12th gen) CPUs slightly higher than precision boost, but with meticulous tuning, and to no end-performance effect. 
 
In short, the ability to slave over getting a CPOU to manually overclock and be pinned to 5.0GHz as opposed to allowing precision boost to raise the frequency to 4.9GHz when it is needed and lower it back down to 3.7GHz when nothing is happening is pointless.  100Mhz faster when the frequency is already that high will not yield any real performance benefit. 

i added more RAM and got a cheaper PSU

SSD is fine

I would get a lesser Motherboard like B660 or H670. You don't need the Z690. Use the saved money and get a 3060Ti. The performance jump is big between it and the 3060.
You also might be able to get a cheaper PSU if you look harder. $138 for a 750 gold is pretty steep. Also its the 2018 model
For example: https://www.newegg.com/nzxt-np-c750m-us-750w/p/N82E16817116040?Description=c750&cm_re=c750-_-17-116-040-_-Product&quicklink=true
I use the C850 and its great and quiet.
 
Everything else seems fine

Bought some lamb to try out the sous vide machine

(EDIT): I ended up returning this product, I really didn't like the surface of the pad (Has almost a sandpaper like feel in which felt disturbing to use). The stitched edges were also getting in the way more than serving its purpose. In the end I ended up returning this and bought my previous mousepad.
 
I needed to wash my previous mouse pad but didn't have a spare one in the meantime
Model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LPHVXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Stitched Anti-Fray Edges

imo it's a bit big to be called "Medium" but it doesn't bother me much.

My laptop doesn't have a webcam and I do not own one either
Picked one off from Ebay and just came today.
Model:https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK
 
Basic Specs: 
Resolution: 1080p 30fps, 720p 60fps Has built in mic (I have no clue on how good it is though) Pics:
 
Thank God that this webcam works with thin bezels.
I was kind of worried that it might overlap the screen but it seems like that is not the case at all!
well that's neat.

I've got the much older version of that webcam that only does 720 30.
