Previously I had posted about wanting to get my son a desktop for his 16th birthday. Budget was $2500. In doing research I feel like I might be doing some overkill.
I'm wanting to get him setup with a 2k setup.
It looks like building is just a mess right now because graphics cards are just crazy expensive and hard to come by right now.
So what I've come up with is a prebuilt system. Tell me if this is too much/overkill. I don't wanna be spending money I just don't have to.
Ryzen 7 3700x
GE Force RTX 3070
16 GB Ram 3200 megahertz (2 8GB DDR 4)
480GB SSD
2TB HD
Dell S2721DGF 27"
IPS QHD with freesync and G-Sync
He plays Apex/Fortnite/Black Ops/Battlefront 2

I mean, I flat out told you on the thread that it was staggeringly overkill 
A 3700x and a 3070 are plenty for what he'll ask of it, but not absurdly so.

This is a CLX unit. Any advice on that brand?

None. I'm not particularly familiar with them, unfortunately.
