Proposed build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tQzrfy

Looking to build something to target 1440p, would prefer to stay AM5 for future upgrades. Have gone micro ATX because of space constraints. Only really tied to the CPU/GPU combo, so if I’ve missed the mark on case, mobo, etc I’m open to suggestions. My big question is picking a suitable 1440p monitor, would like to keep it under $250 and not sure which direction to go.

Appreciate thoughts and advice in advance.

For the monitor, I recently got the MSI G272QPF and have been really happy with it. It's 1440p, 165hz (over displayport, 144hz on hdmi and it can be overclocked to 170hz in the monitor settings panel, and I haven't noticed any issues), has a 1ms response time and HDR all while costing about $200-220 (I got it for $200 at microcenter). It also looks great!

Awesome! That certainly seems like the one to go with in my price range. Cheers!
