Much needed upgrade/Rate my build for VR

[AcidAddict33]

So I've been needing an upgrade for a while, and with half life Alyx coming out I feel it's finally time to upgrade my old rig from an i5-2500k with 8 gigs of ram to something better (and capable). Below is my possible future rig after a few hours of research.

 

My idea with this rig is to go all out (within reason) to make it last a long while and VR capable, with the only upgrade possibly being a 2080 or more RAM. Initially I wanted a 3950X but was told it was overkill and impossible to get my hands on one anyways. I plan to use a Valve Index for VR, so I want to take advantage of the higher refresh rate their headset is capable of. I don't much care for RGB since my computer will be under my desk, and I'll be reusing my old case (unless components won't fit or there's issues with the USB headers). Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I find that the G3 is often overpriced for what it offers. What would a TX550M run you? It's often a better value.

Thanks for the input, I guess my original post wasn't clear enough. Items marked with a (*) are items I already own, so the PSU and GPU are already bought. The PSU is in my current rig which replaced one that failed a few years ago, and the 1070TI was bought but never used since my CPU bottlenecked it, so it's just been sitting in it's box waiting for an upgrade.

in that case, solid overall. VR hasn't beet terribly demanding thus far so the 1070 ti ought to serve you very well.
