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.

    Man, I can’t believe how quickly DDR5 became affordable. I paid $500 for the same amount of RAM just a few years ago. That’s pretty rad! Same for the NVMe drives.

    I’d go with a more powerful PSU or you’ll need a new one if you ever want to upgrade your GPU.

      Have been looking at building a rig since I got my launch Steam Deck and things seem to have come together at the right time to build something nice. I’ll be looking at beefier PSUs. Thanks!
