I'm always a bit sceptical about these prebuilt deals. Do they specify exactly what motherboard and what power supply are included? For instance 500W PSUs range from $30-$150... And are these Z170 motherboards?

Umm... how can 500W Bronze+ PSU power your 980TI? 700W is pretty much minimum and if you'd go with 700W I'd still recommend you get atleast Gold+ or 750W bronze+

980Tis burn about 250watts peak, the CPU another 70ish so 500w if it's a reasonable quality PSU would be borderline but should be ok. Bigger PSU isn't a bad idea.

And how much power does the Rift draw through the USB ports? It must take a fair bit of juice to light up those two HiRes OLED panels?
