You're comparing a game from 2004 to one from 2020 and saying it doesn't look that much better???

64GB of ram is wayyy overkill for gaming, get 16 gigs
A 3800X is equivalent/beats performance of 9900K at 1440p and is cheaper and cooler
You don't need NVMe for gaming, it only makes loading times 1 second faster vs SATA
watercooling is not for beginners and isn't much if at all better than air cooling
2080 super is only slightly better than a 2070 super whilst being way more expensive

edit: whoops didn't realize the pc was already built, i suppose just take this as advice for later upgrades/builds

That 3570K can still last a while, the 8Gb of ram and 1050Ti could be a problem though. Lower the settings since the 1050Ti can only run recent AAA games (2018 or newer) at medium settings. Maybe find a used 1060 6GB, and find a well reviewed 2X8 16GB DDR3 ram kit.

IPS has better colors and viewing angles (colors stay the same if viewed from an oblique angle), TN panels are the opposite however cheaper, VA/SVA panels are a good in-between (SVA is better than VA). IPS is best for purely watching movies/video, VA and TN are better for gaming

Yes it is being bottlenecked. Get an R5 1600AF with a B450 board for around 170$, if you're on a smaller budget, go for a used 6th gen i7 and keep your mobo

AMD Athlon X4 950 (@ 3.8 GHz) --> R5 2600 (@ 3.7GHz)
G.SKILL Value 1x8GB 2.4 GHz --> Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 3 GHz
Hitachi 7K2000 2TB --> Samsung 860 EVO 1TB (SATA3)
HP W1707 17" 1440x900 60Hz --> HP W2007 20" 1680x1050 60Hz --> MSI MAG241C 23.6" 1080p 144Hz
Logitech C270 (using the built-in mic) --> Fifine 669B

Keep the R9 390 and save that 200-250 for a CPU/Mobo/RAM upgrade, a R5 1600AF, a B450 board and 16GB 3/3.2GHz ram would cost approx 200-250

3900X.

According to PassMark the 3900x has better single core and (obviously) better multicore performance.
To my knowledge there aren't any major bios issues (correct me if i'm wrong) and the CPU should infact be more secure than the 9900K.
According to the comparison you linked, the 3900X scored top in 2/3 of the benchmarks, only beat once by 0.06% from an AMD CPU.

my loud, prob used 2TB Hitachi HDD with an SSD, likely a Samsung.

like seriously this thing is about 3 or 4 times louder than my case fans when reading/writing.

If a replacement mobo is $285, you might as well get a new mobo/ram/cpu for ~$300

Slight FPS increase and greater multitasking/editing ability
 
Could also sell the ram/cpu to get a 3600

It depends

If you're using an AMD Ryzen CPU, 2933/3000MHz (or faster) ram is recommended
 
If you're using an Intel CPU, ram speed doesn't really matter as much.
 
Although it would be a sort of downgrade, in the real world it'll only increase fps by maybe 5, personally i would rather have 12 or 16GB of DDR3 than 8GB DDR4
