It's a solid choice. The 5600x offers a strong CPU that should handle 1440p and above resolutions smoothly. A top-tier CPU at 1080p with high refresh rates can deliver even better performance, but for 1440p at 144Hz, it will perform well without becoming a limitation.
The setup works well... just consider which monitor you choose might cause more problems. 1440p/144 isn't the ultimate limit—more like a high-end standard—so I agree with @Naijin... what you see is a realistic target for your screen.
Monitor usage usually exceeds five years, while 144Hz isn't worth it.
