Im planning on building a new PC for gaming my old one doesn't really handle modern titles like it use to. Crashes playing wilds,BO6 and sometimes fortnite. Old specs 3900x with a 2080 and 32gbs of ram. Would the new parts im looking at be good for 1440p gaming and not have bottle neck issues.

You can play bo6 in 4k native with that with like 120fps. I think you’ll be fine in 1440 for sure.
9800x3d is majorly overkill, that liquid cooler doesnt look very good, not to mention unnecessary but wtv, you really dont need an x870, get a b650e or a b850. That psu is rated pretty terribly on the psu tier list, I would change it

I bought the Gigabyte X870 Gaming Wifi6.
Returned it and got the Gigabyte X870 Gaming X Wifi7.
I don’t care about Wifi7. But it is a better motherboard for overclocking. Has a much more solid VRM (16 + 2 + 2 digital twin). Definitely worth the price for stability and ability to overclock your components.
Plus, have a few extras like better NVMe slots and heatsinks.
You could probably just swap the 3900x for a 5800x3d and get +50% fps in cpu heavy games without having to build a new pc just fyi.
If the crashing is gpu related. 5800x3d and a 9070xt.
except the case and the cooling solution, which of course is personal preference, the rest seems great
Get yourself a better case, you are spending 2k on this build, dont cheap out on the case. Get a 110-130usd case will benefit you greatly on the long run.
A at least 1000W PSU is recommended, with the 9800x3d being very powerful, maybe in the next 2 years you had save some money and decide to upgrade your GPU, a 850W PSU is a major road block.
I would make a few changes.
9800x3d is a bit overkill for now, but if you decide to go that way, get yourself a better aio(at least more reliable option). I suggest nxt if you want to go safe, or smt from arctic as well.
Gigabyte tends to have ok ish products, although their RMA is questionable. I would go for MSI if I were in your shoes.
The PSU is tier A as i’ve seen in some tier lists, great pick!.
But in any case, great build. Will run any 1440p gaming with no issues for quite some time.
lol for 1440, that thinks gonna absolutely shred…all good parts
I would go with 2 x 32 of RAM and a 1000 or 1200 PSU
Liquid coolers have far more issues than fan coolers. Pumps break, firmware bricks.. etc etc
With the quality of modern fan coolers (and fans) you are far better off with a high quality fan cooler of similar price
