Can I run a 1440p 160-ish hz monitor?

You can run it with DisplayPort, just dont expect games to run that quickly. HDMI depends on the display, the GPU could do it.

I recently bought a gpu for a prebuilt pc and I'm wondering if I can run a 1440p high refresh rate monitor, I have a Zotac Gaming 1650 OC gddr6 4gb, 8gbs of single channel ddr4 ram, and an intel core i5-8400, and I'm currently using a 60hz 1080p monitor from onn. Anything would be helpful, thank you in advance!

Your GPU does support that output with DisplayPort as stated. However, you are going to have some difficulty running games at 1440p 160fps with those components. An 8400 with 8GB of single channel RAM is really going to struggle to push 160fps in all but the least demanding games. And the 1650 isn't going to have an easy time driving that at 1440p at all but the lowest settings in those less demanding games.

 

That said, a monitor upgrade is one of the best upgrades you can make for a system, as you can carry the monitor with you into the future. A 1440p 144Hz+ monitor should last you quite a while and even if you can't run all your games at 1440p, you have access to upscaling tech like FSR and NIS, and you can always run the game at a lower resolution until you can upgrade the rest of your system.

OK, good to keep in mind!
