1. Will the computer be able to handle the games listed above at 1440p 144hz.

2. are the parts i chose compatible and will they work?

3. Any recommendations or changes that you would make.

Not a bad build, but there are 3 things I'd change

Motherboard - the MSI B660M-A Pro is the same price and has a stronger VRM, I'd get that instead.
SSD - It's very expensive considering the performance it offers, you're better off getting something like a Sabrent Rocket or another Nvme drive instead.
PSU - that's a fine unit and everything, it's juts that for the price you can do a bit better, something like the EVGA 750 G6 is the same price and a better PSU.

If you're just playing those listed games, the GPU should be OK, but if you're playing anything else I would want to get a stronger GPU, 6600 XT at the minimum, 6700 XT/3060 Ti preferred.

oh ok i’m planing to use the ssd i have in my current pc and upgrade it to a m.2 later.

I originally had planes to use that motherboard but I could only find it in micro atx and i wanted to go with a atx form factor build.

There is the ATX version of that board for $10 more (B660-A Pro), but an mATX board will fit in an ATX case, so unless you really dislike the aesthetics of it (in the P360A it looks fine IMO) or need the extra expansion slot, I'd save the $10

If you already own the SSD it makes sense, it's a good drive, I own one, it's just that for the price they want for it it doesn't make a ton of sense compared to other, faster drives.
