I recently secured a solid offer on a 3080 FE, moving up from my 1060 6gb. I mainly play competitive shooters such as Valorant. Before the upgrade, I was achieving roughly 130-145 FPS in Valorant, and it remains consistent now. I'm curious about the best path to boost my FPS further.

5700X3D or 5800X3D represents the last chance to upgrade before a full platform upgrade. With the quicker card, you can adjust graphics settings as needed. A 320W GPU gives you a bit more headroom on the PSU, though stability remains a concern. It seems you're not pushing the card to its limits, so you haven't tested a complete CPU and GPU load together.

To achieve higher FPS, you should upgrade the CPU. If you're not ready to purchase a completely new system, consider the 5700X3D or 5800X3D, with the 5700X3D being more affordable and offering similar performance.

Would upgrading the cooler be necessary for the 5700X3D, or should I keep the original one from my 5600?

Coolers are inexpensive. It makes sense to go for them.

RAM might be hidden if you place the fans in the wrong spots on this model. You can still run it with a single fan.
