Is a EVGA supernova 650W+ gold modular PSU good enough for 2080ti gaming x trio
Will I get any issues running it on that PSU?

Its a good brand and a good PSU
a 2080 Ti recommends a PSU of 650w for full system wattage, so with that in mind i wouldnt go for less than a 750w to be on the safe side, depending on the rest of your specs and if you'll be doing any overclocking.

Dont want to skimp on the PSU with an expensive GPU like that
The wattage of the GPU is +/- 250w by itself.

Already have the PSU just need the gpu, do you think I’d run into any problems?

650W is plenty for every single GPU setup.
A system with a 9700K and that 2080 Ti isn't going to use more than 475~500W, and even if you overclock, it's not going to get anywhere near 650.

I’m running a 8700k and don’t plan to overclock, got a rog swift 1440p 165hz monitor and just thinking to either get a 2080s or ti, just worried about coil whine and the such for the ti

Any coil whine would more or less be from the quality of the card rather than the PSU, since your PSU has more than enough power and is of high quality.
I would still advise going ahead with overclocking your 8700K, because there's no point in not overclocking an Intel CPU. That's pretty much Intel's whole shtick at this point as it's the one thing that Ryzen can't do without LN2. (overclocking to 5 GHz)

So would you say a msi gaming x trio 2080ti is of good quality and worth it? I could oc to 5ghz just gotta look up how haha

Gaming X Trio should be alright, and you'll want a good cooler for 5 GHz.

Just wanted to say that after reading all of this, you should do what Escorve is suggesting.

I also, as an anecdotal (unprofessional opinion as it may be) insight of mine--I have a 550 watt evga in one of my systems, and I've been able to abuse it via large power draw for extended periods of time. It's proven to be durable.

I think you'll be in good shape if you follow the advice here. Power provisioning is often underlooked until its a problem, and its a problem you don't want to have.
