I've put together a build for a 9800X3D, and I'm mainly going to use it for gaming with titles like Fortnite, CS2, and Teardown. You can check out the parts list here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/whJpPJ. I already have a GPU but I'm planning to upgrade it in a couple of months. Are these components solid for my needs?

It's a decent setup, but I recommend getting a B850 motherboard for the 9800X3D to get the best performance. Also, what GPU do you currently have, and at what resolution do you usually game?
Your build looks solid overall! Just keep in mind that you might need to update the BIOS on your B650 motherboard before you install the 9800X3D. Fortunately, you can do this using the flashback feature, and you'll just need your PSU, flash drive, and motherboard for that.
I'm using a 2080 Super and I usually play at 1080p, but I'm thinking of upgrading to 1440p soon. Why do you suggest the B850?
