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.

As far as your SSD, you can get this gen4 drive a couple bucks cheaper than the gen 3 drive you've spec'd out.

If you're interested in a larger case alternative, you could go with the Air 903 Base from Montech. I've not used it personally but if you're worried about fitting components I'd say it will resolve any possible issues there.
