Is this too much for high fps 1440p/144Hz gaming?
Oh! also, *highly* recommend a tower cooler over an AIO. Sure, AIOs look cool, but average time to death is 3 years and I've never got one to last more than 5. Noctua has a long history of providing free mounting bracket upgrades and they carry some stonking coolers, though they lost the performance king.

You could probably comfortably rock a 5600x which runs 150 used vs a 5800x which is selling for 250 used. You only lose 2 cores for 60% of the price and nothing stops you from grabbing a 5950x down the line to keep the platform alive.
Looking at this range of benchmarks it seems that there is zero advantage to more CPU
In fact, the first and only time I've seen any game use more than half my 16 cores was Division 2 which amazingly uses something like 85% of my 5950x when paired with 3080ti at 4kHigh. Still cranked out 100-120fps. Aside from that nothing has come close
As for GPU, I think you're good. Those AAA FPS games love to suck back power. Those same benches show this
