I'm in the final stages of choosing parts for my build, and I'm looking for advice on selecting a CPU cooler. I've got everything else sorted out, but I'm stuck on this one. I'm not sure what factors to consider or which cooler would be the best fit for my setup. Any recommendations?

If you're considering air coolers, something like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit would be awesome for a 9800x3d. Alternatively, if you’re leaning towards liquid cooling, the Arctic Liquid Freezer 360mm is a strong contender. Both options will work great, so choose based on what you prefer!
For your case, I would suggest going for a Corsair all-in-one cooler and mount it at the top for exhaust. It's a great way to keep the RGB synced through one app. If you're interested, check out the Corsair Nautilus 360 RS model. It performs really well! Plus, you might consider adding an extra RS120 fan for rear exhaust to keep everything matching in style.
Have you looked into the Lian Li Galahad II Lite? It won a comparison test among 360mm AIOs and is pretty efficient. You can find a detailed review online if you want to see how it performs!
Could you explain what you mean by 'shootout'? I’m curious!
That sounds like a solid choice! Thanks!
