Well, I guess you guys were right. I couldn't resist just building my own. I was not 100% happy with the components that Micro Center used for the PowerSpec G435:

A few questions:

1) I really just want to play STAR WARS SQUADRON on the Oculous and maybe make it future compatible for VR. I play maybe 1 or 2 games a year and stick with it. I play a few hours a week, but I do not play a long list of games. Is this overkill? Keep in mind I have an iMac 5K with two monitors that I use for everything. This is ONLY be a gaming PC.

2) My problem is that I want to get the NVIDIA 3080, but it's not in stock anywhere. Do I get a cheap card and suck it up for a bit or just build without a card for now? It seems like waste of $500 to get the 2070.

3) Do I need a card for blutooth/wifi/Ethernet? Or is it built in now?

4) What else am I missing? Any "bottlenecks"?

THANKS!
