Air cooling isn’t sufficient for that CPU or at least none that PCS provide, it requires a minimum of a 240mm radiator.
But we can’t advise on individual components as they all inter relate
If you can follow the following and update then we can offer some advice

But as you only recently bought an AM4 system, I’d be questioning why you’re replacing it rather than upgrading, pretty pointless and defeats the purpose of investing in a custom pc

A 240/280mm AIO is what I'd go for a 9800X3D; there's no reason to persist with an air cooler, especially when a suitable one (i.e. Noctua) would cost around the same as a good Corsair AIO.
Anyway, I'd suggest that you submit your full specs before making any purchases because all of the components are interconnected and it's critical to design a well-balanced system.

You don’t have to do anything, PCS have an upgrade service
What are your current specs? You’re not going to gain anything by replacing it it’s got plenty of life left assuming it was half decently designed. Assuming you got advice on it then it should only be at max a PSU, maybe cpu annd cooler, and GPU upgrade.

Absolutely pointless investing in custom pcs if you’re not interested in upgrades, you’re spending far more than you need to and not benefiting at all from the reasons why you would go custom, that’s aside from the fact you’re paying double what you need to
I‘d just get a branded system.

Actually, I'm not sure what it means.
Everyone has a budget; otherwise, how can we suggest something ''without going over the top'' without knowing what the top is?
Nowadays, every decent motherboard includes WiFi; only the lowest-end models don't.

This means nothing from one person to another though, it’s all subjective, that’s why we need a fixed budget to work to

I think the 5090 is not a good value in general unless it's required for work; personally, I would never buy a xx90 just for gaming purposes.
As @SpyderTracks said, it's subjective.

I have ordered the 5090 as I want the extra vram, I won't be playing games, Just doing AI stuff so, as nowhere else has an Nvidia GPU for a laptop with the AMD cpu, I'm happy to pay the extra, as SpyderTracks said, it's subjective and very much dependant on individual use.

To fit a 5080, you'd need to increase the budget (at least 3500€), but it would be a waste with your 165Hz 1440p panel.
Here's what you can get for 3200€.
