got a budget of $800 USD for 1440p. Have peripherals, windows 10 key i can get online.

If you can buy used, build something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmMjAirKp8o

 

Of course, you have a bigger budget so you can get a better graphics card, CPU, RAM, etc.

For about 180$ more (so about 1k$) you can get a build that will do 1440p 144hz pretty well at lower-end games at maximum, although you will have to turn the settings down at AAA games and such:

If you don't already have the monitor it will be pretty impossible. If you can I'd stretch a bit extra for 16GB RAM (like ~$50 more) and a 1-2TB HDD for extra space (~$50-60 more).

You don't plug your HDMI cable into the motherboard, you plug it into the graphics card. And even then both of them have HDMI

Probably max, the system requirements are pretty low

It will support it, but go for the B450M Mortar or B450M Pro4 instead.

I would not get a Ryzen 1400/1070 Ti, too low single core performance, even overclocked.

I would at least get a 2nd gen Ryzen CPU or Current Intel equivalent but AMD's CES announcements are coming soon, and if the leaks are true the only answer will be AMD for a little while unless Intel drops something

But that's only if the rumors are true.

phew, the msi b450 mortar is almost as much as some of the x470s out there. the b450 tomahawk looks good though

Get the tomahawk then. The mortar is a sized-down version of the tomahawk with the exact same features.

Check if your case supports ATX motherboards however

It's a pretty good board and has a good VRM (although slightly worse than the tomahawk, but can handle a 2600 just fine), along with having a pretty great BIOS. I'd recommend it
