Hi all, I have historically built a number of systems over the last 30 or so years but I seem to have outdone myself with my last build and haven't needed a new one for going on 12 or so years now. Looking for some feedback on this build I am putting together. Main purpose is gaming, and I want it to be able to support VR. It doesn't need to be a monster but I would like to get a good life span out of it so I have built with some future expansion options or updates down the road if needed. I am mostly looking for some feedback on the video card selection as well as the case choice and cooler. Case org has always been a bit of a weak point for me, and modern heat syncs are ALOT larger then my previous build. But please feel free to drop any other thoughts you may have.

A few cliff notes:
- I have historically been an NVidia man, They have always been good to me, also I do work with CUDA for my job once in a while so I like to option to be able to play on my home machine. That said I am also 15 years out of date on consumer graphic tech so I am open to other options if the tides have turned recently.
- I would like to avoid a watercolor system, I really don't want to muck with it, if I can't get sufficient cooling with an air system I would prefer to downgrade the CPU.
- Not planning to overclock
- Don't really care about SLI unless its somehow works out to a better deal.
- Thanks for the help!!
