The good news on video cards is a lot of them are not only approaching the outskirts of affordability again, you can actually buy them from places online! A Microcenter not too far from me has plenty in stock right now.

 I've never really finished the PC I built at the start of the pandemic in March 2020 when I thought I'd wait for the 30 series cards to come out that October. Then THAT happened! WFH, Bitcoin and just flat out scalpers drove the prices into orbit and crushed supply. It's been trending better the last few weeks finally. I haven't seen anything come down to MSRP yet but some of the lower end cards are getting closer. That said some are still just nuts. I've seen 2060 cards like the one I'd recycled from my old PC going for twice what I paid for it years ago! I'm still waiting on a decent 3080 I can pull the trigger on and finally complete my build. Still too high for them right now.

I see the 40 series is due out in the fall maybe and leaked specs say they should blow away even the best 30 series. But the watts these things will consume would heat my house! I dunno about all that! Will see what happens.

UGH.. but thanks for the link.  Any suggestions so I can play on an oculus with CH gear to 'tune up' till I get my rig?

You can't play AH on the Quest unless it's tethered to a PC that can run VR. The other issue with your old PC is you don't have USB 3.1.  You can add USB 3.1 with a card but I think you need a new PC for an acceptable VR experience.
