Is this a good price for a new production computer?

Well it's the one year university of the start of this post. Since then I did finally decide on a build and purchased the components over the recent black Friday sale. I put the idea of a build on the shelf until the black Friday sale pushed me into action.

I watched this build vid by PC Builder and decided to just go with it. I know going with the AM4 socket prevents me from any upgrades, but I feel this PC will due for all my needs for music and VR. So by buying a dead format, I saved a little cash I think.

B&H Photo - MSI MPG A1000G 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply MSMPGA1000GF Price: $190.79

X-amazon - GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 - price $158.99

X-e-bay - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - price $349.79

X-amazon - ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 - price $111.07

X-amazon - Heat sink compound - price $11.00

X-amazon - CABLEDECONN Multi-Function Displayport Dp to HDMI/DVI/VGA Male to Female 3-in-1 Adapter Converter Cable - price $13.13

X-amazon - DeepCool CK560 WH Mid-Tower ATX Case - price $95.39

X-amazon - TEAMGROUP T-Force CARDEA Zero Z440 1TB DRAM - $82.99

X-amazon - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3600 MHz - $51.99

- Total - $1065 (these are the actual after tax prices I paid)

I haven't built it yet. B&H Photo screwed me out of their deal by later telling me it was backordered then not restocking it, so I'll have to make another 1000w PSU choice. I plan to buy a HD or maybe two if I RAID. The processor will give me 1080p x 2 monitors for music production needs.
This system will surely be great for music production and as for VR with a future GPU, (looking at a 4090 when they are close to MSRP) I expect to get 90 or better FPS running the more immersive titles I like rather then full on action titles.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone who went out of their way to really help me out, such as Pictus.
