Hi there! it's a solid start for 1440p, but you have a couple of mismatched components.
First, for Ryzen 7000, I highly recommend getting 6000MHz CL30 RAM in a dual-channel kit (2x16GB) instead of a single 32GB stick. You'll see a noticeable boost in performance
Second, your SSD is PCIe Gen3, but your motherboard supports Gen4. For video editing, you'll definitely benefit from the faster read/write speeds of a Gen4 drive like a WD Black SN850X or a Crucial P5 Plus
Given the current market economy, I understand choosing a single RAM stick, but if you can invest a little more to get a 2x16GB kit, it would be amazing. On the other hand, the SSD is Gen3, which works great; however, your motherboard is Gen4. For editing, you'll really notice that Gen4 boost during video transfers and such. So, same deal there: if you can get the models I mentioned for a bit more money (or wait for a price drop), that would be the best move
