Feedback on this build list?
My motherboard died. z971 plus with a good ole 4770k and gtx980. Not doing mini ITX again, going either mid or full ATX.
I figure It's a good time to go ahead and build a new rig. Looking for feedback.

Any suggestions for items instead of what i've got picked?
suggestions for cooling? Should I air cool, get an aio, or build a custom loop? budget isn't an issue.
What cases are good these days? Also taking suggestions for future-proofing.

If budget isn’t an issue then I would go for a 2080 super and for cooling I use a Corsair h150 pro with my Ryzen 9 3900x
Thanks. I'm considering a 2080 super I'm just not sure if I would get that extra $200 of benefit at 1440p. I'm actually considering a noctua air cooler, but I haven't ruled out a custom loop just yet.
It really depends what games you play for the card. If you’re going for aesthetics then I would recommend aio or custom, but a noctua nhd15 has about the same performance of a Corsair 240 mm aio
the most intensive games Ill play are likely going to be Fromsoft games. and the next TES assuming I don't upgrade before it comes out.
As for aesthetics. I'm arguing with myself whether or not it's worth the cost tradeoff. I tend to lean to function over form.
In that case TES VI won’t be out for probably 3-4 years so you can go with whichever you prefer in terms of a card. For function over form I would go for the noctua cooler
It's quite a sizable difference. You have overspent on your motherboard I don't see why you shouldn't overspend on your GPU where performance increase is actually noticeable.
can you show me evidence of the difference you claim? The benchmarks I saw, while better, weren't $200 better.
It's just based on your budget. I would rather spend on a performance tier up for gpu. Also it depends on what you think $200 better is, and I actually agree with you. I have a 2080 super and I don't want it because its too powerful for me, I'd also rather have a 2070 Super or 5700 xt. But if you are spending so much money I would get one especially if you care about future proofing
