I'm not sure if I should spend the extra money on a z690 motherboard or if it matters that much, Also is the 12600k going to bottleneck the 3080?

Looks ~fine. If you need the e cores that the 12600k brings I'd just go to a 12700f and get a cheaper cooler. If you don't need them then if get a 12400f which is still great for gaming.

Your cpu cooler is pretty overpriced for the perfromance in brings because it's a corsair capellix. If you go down the 12400f route most aftermarket coolers would be just fine but a aio looks better in my opinion, so you can choose whatever, although I'd choose a cheaper one.

That mobo is super overpriced because it's ddr5 and has a  3 16x slots. I'd get a cheaper one or a more feature rich for the same price.

Consider a cheaper psu

No and no.  Depending on what you wanna do with this, you could potentially save a lot of money.   Care to elaborate more on your intended usage, preferred budget, and/or other preferences?

It will mainly just be used for gaming and other normal computer things. My budget is somewhere around $1600 usd (though I can go over if I need to).

Get a z690 Aero G board imo, it’s an amazing board. If you insist on cheaping out on the motherboard, get a z690 UD AX (DDR4) from Gigabyte- it’s a good board, and it’s cheaper than most b660 boards.

I'm not sure I'd recommend what seems to be a 260 dollar board when the benefits of overclocking are basically nothing on 12th gen cpus

On the contrary I’ve had a good performance boost in rendering etc. by overclocking my 12700KF- modest 5ghz P-core and either 3.8  or 4.0 e-core iirc.
