Question Gaming build at 1440p, need help with selecting parts

[Weathered]

Looking to build a new computer for gaming at 1440p. Currently running 8700k, 1080ti, 16gm ram. Would just need the main components, don't need monitor, keyboard or mouse.

Haven't really kept up with the latest news on hardware. I know gpu prices have been pretty high, have those been coming down any? What video card would I need to see a noticeable increase over my current 1080ti? 3060? 3070? 3080ti?

Part of me wants to go all out on this build. But also at same time, don't want to spend 3,4 or 5k dollars. Don't plan on doing any watercooling unless certain cpu's absolutely require some type of watercooling. I have never messed with water cooling before.

Any reason to wait to build? New hardware coming out soon? I may not "need" to upgrade but been getting the itch to upgrade

 

[Why_Me]

One reason is when I do a build, I typically start from scratch. Idk, maybe that would be different if I did have an upgrade option. I have nothing against amd at all. Some of it could be a mindset thing too, always went with intel for my builds

AMD can be buggy.

For the video card, not set on any brand. Will get a well known brand that is around $1200. Any issues that I should know about this build? Sorry I am dragging this on for so long, I tend to overthink.

I've built AMD and Intel systems. They both performed fine, not buggy.

AMD can be buggy.

So can Intel.

Here is the system, that I made earlier, with AMD swapped in, and a GPU that is in stock.

AMD can be buggy.

Intel can be just as buggy, lol.
