Goal: I'm trying to build a gaming pc (on the level of Witcher 3) that can support VR. I am aware that certain aspects of this pc are overbuild (such as the power supply) but I have had issues in the past where the power supply wasn't strong enough for an upgrade and a new power supply would be too big for the case, hence the overkill. Yes, the plan is to keep this pc around and upgrade it over the decades. No streaming or video processing required at all.

I have 5 questions regarding these specs:
1) Does this require a wireless network card? The motherboard seems to have one in it already.
2) Do I need an extra case fan? This case only comes with 3 frontal fans and no rear fan. Or is the rear fan slot where the processor cooling fan is supposed to go?
3) What monitor should run with this? Ideally the monitor cost should stay below 300 EUR.
4) Does this system make sense? Do these components fit together or am I trying to ram a square peg in a circular hole?
5) Will this system meet the minimum performance requirements set out by the goal (on the top)?
