Every time i tab onto a diffrent app or do stuff in general my pc makes this whir/thump like sound. Is it a problem?
This is a "laptop setup". A long time ago due to personal circumstances I had to chose mobility over MAXIMUM POWER and it wasn't long before I realized it's actually quite practical so I've been choosing mobility ever since. And yes, this particular laptop isn't the most mobile but it still fits in a backpack unlike an actual desktop.
Anyway
Last picture is from the desk's amazon page so you could somewhat see what it looked like originally.
I've basically removed the 2 drawers on each side with the idea being that the middle section will be for the power supply + cables. I had to raise the board on it so it'd be at equal height with the side boards since it wasn't originally. I also had to make space in it for the arms + a hole underneath for the cables to move from the top to the bottom of the desk.
The initial idea I now realize was rather naive, namely to have the laptop + the cooler on a monitor arm. To be fair, the arm holds. What fails to hold is the plate on which the laptop sits - it tilts downwards hence why you're seeing the *definitely* temporary solution which is to just place a cardboard box underneath for support.
The 2 cable trays underneath the desk weren't there originally either nor was the drawer but I'd reckon they make a nice addition.

(Need to hide and do cable management)
With the current gpa market in mind- Buying this set of 32GB for $380. Corsair currently showing on their site for $600.
Edit: Found new local at micro center for $40 more. Also many deals and bundles for CPU, Ram, & mobo that make much more sense than buying this used set alone. Thank you everyone for the opinions!
Should I replace my keyboard with the GravaStar K1 Pro Interstellar Silver? And if anyone has suggestions on how to make my setup look more alien/spaceship themed please share.

my desktop has been having trouble running even the simplest of games on a 3060, and my memory is almost full constantly, and i've also downloaded some stagnant files on my computer i dont use anymore, most being browser games and the like. I've chatted with my friends who are versed in the topic and they suggested i reset my PC and install tiny11 or linux, which im not entirely dreading either option.
i just want to know how i should go about things before i eventually reset my PC,
I mainly use my pc for gaming, and i dont know which OS is better for my uses, i know linux is difficult to learn to say the least, and windows is at best, a solid OS... once you've spent like an hour removing bloatware by downloading software to remove that bloatware.
i want to avoid making any of the same mistakes i made when i first setup my desktop, so if you have any software/app recommendations they would be very welcome. (i will research them before downloading them)
i've owned my pc for a little over 2 years now, and the specs are:
CPU - intel i5-12400F
RAM - 16GB DDR4
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
WiFi - 6 AX201 160MHz
and just for a little context, heres what my task manager looks like:
