Not a PC gamer, so I figure 8G for the video card is enough

New PC on the way

The only possible niggle—depending on whether you bought an 8G video card for video editing or not, I would guess getting one that powerful means you are interested in some video editing, though I'm not psychic enough to know for sure—is that the 650-watt power supply might choke out if you're doing heavy editing. I would have bumped that up to at least 850-watt...but since it's already on the way, you'll get to find out. If you run into trouble (not saying you definitely will, just that you might), the power supply is the likely culprit.

Cool, and congrats, Bob! Looks like a winner! The p.s. might only come into play if you have a lot of connectivity where you're plugging a number of controllers, drives, and other such hardware in and out. Even then, if you keep a lean production environment (which it sounds like you do), you'll have years of reliable service. So with most applications, a respectable gaming setup will get er' done. Nice move with the 2TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 drive as well.
Enjoy!!!!!

The 265 CPU doesn't come with onboard video, I take it? If you're not playing games or editing video, curious why you need a card at all.

Future proofing. My current PC is 9 years old and Win10 expiring is the reason for replacing it. I expect this one to get the same kind of mileage. In addition to FSP I also use digital painting software with a pen display. Individual component specs weren't a consideration bc it is prebuilt model.
I don't care about statements without measurements/proof. I prefer this one for a RTX 5070 in a worst case gaming setup. Quote from the very bottom of the page:
"A 650 watt power supply unit not only offers sufficient headroom, but also absorbs short-term load peaks, as required by the ATX 3.1 standard with up to 200% of the nominal load for one millisecond. This means that peaks of up to 1300 watts can be handled without stability problems."
