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.

Looks fine to me. Only thing I'd make sure is that the GPU will fit into the case. MicroATX might be a bit constrained.

As for monitors I'd check out a channel like PC Builder on YouTube. He does monitor comparisons regularly and always comes up with good recommendations for different price points.

Thanks! I’ll check the sizes to be sure on the GPU and case.
