I'm looking for a gaming PC that can handle at least 1440p graphics and run new AAA games well. I'm comfortable with building it, so I'm open to any recommendations within a budget of $1300 to $1500.

Check out this build I found: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HYxGyW. Looks pretty solid! If there's a Micro Center nearby, it could help with prices too.
Here's another option: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VTQZh7. You could upgrade to a 2TB SSD for an extra $50 if you think you'll need the space.
I recommend this pre-built from Newegg: iBUYPOWER Slate 9. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9070XT for about $1,529. It's well-priced if you don’t want to build it yourself, but just be aware that building it yourself can save you some cash!
Definitely worth considering if you want to save some money. Building it yourself usually comes out cheaper in the long run!
Just a heads up, you might want to swap the PSU—my buddy had overheating issues even with a heatsink!
