Hello,

I am upgrading from a i5 6500 and gtx 980ti at the end of the month as some games are not running as smooth as i would like (a lot of frame drops and stutter on COD warzone and in VR), does everything in this build look OK? do i need a different case, extra fans or a different cpu cooler? im using a 1440p monitor but would like to future proof a bit. Thanks.

If the budget is there for the 2080Ti then it's definitely worth it IMO. It depends on the VR headset though, to make use of it you would need the Vive Pro or the Index.

If it's any other headset I would probably opt for the 2080 Super, pocket the difference and put it towards the 3080 or 3080 Ti when it comes out.
