I'm working on my first PC build and have created a parts list that I'd like reviewed. I've already purchased 32GB (16x2) of DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM, and I'm aiming for a total budget of about $2000 AUD, which also includes a monitor. I want to be able to play a wide range of games, from AAA titles to competitive ones, at 1440p with good settings. Future-proofing is important to me since I won't be upgrading for a while. If you have any suggestions on better parts or brands, or even monitor recommendations, I'd appreciate your help!

Your build looks pretty solid! One thing to note is that your case doesn’t come with a rear fan, so you might want to pick one up separately. Also, you could consider using a different SSD brand like Kingston to save some money, though Samsung's are highly rated. For a monitor, a common and well-reviewed option is the MSI MAG 275QF, which is 2560 x 1440 and supports 180Hz. That should pair nicely with your setup!
You might save some cash by choosing a micro ATX motherboard instead of ATX. I've got the same graphics card, and it fits nicely! Plus, you can find some great-looking micro ATX cases. But just to confirm, are there any significant downsides to moving to micro ATX over ATX, or is it purely about the price?
