I'm planning to build a gaming PC with an RX 6700 XT and a Ryzen 7 5800XT. I'll be playing mostly at 1080p, with 16GB of DDR4 memory, and may also use the system for schoolwork. I chose these parts because I found them at good prices—about €240 for the graphics card and €200 for the CPU—and the processor includes a stock cooler. Should I expect any noticeable bottleneck between them?

That’s a strong value-focused pairing. Similar systems using a Ryzen 5 5600X and RX 6700 XT have performed smoothly at both 1080p and 1440p, so the faster Ryzen 7 should have no trouble keeping the graphics card fed.
You’re good to go. An RX 6700 XT paired with that Ryzen 7 should handle 1080p gaming smoothly, and the CPU is more than capable for schoolwork too. The 16GB of RAM is fine for now, though 32GB could be a worthwhile future upgrade for newer games and multitasking.
No, that combination should be well balanced for 1080p gaming. You might technically have a limiting component depending on the game, settings, and frame rate target, but there shouldn’t be a noticeable bottleneck in normal use.
