The amusing thing here is that the RX 6400 needs PCI-E 4.0 to reach full-performance. It suffers huge performance losses in many games when slotted into a PCI-E 3.0 system... and here's the amusing part: the 5600G and in-fact all AMD G-series processors (of that generation) are not PCI-E 4.0 capable, so regardless of being slotted into a PCI-E 4.0 capable motherboard, the system will be limited to 3.0 speeds.
So in the end you get a cheap system that looks initially like an okay value, but in fact what you're getting is a system with inherent conflicting compatibilities and is actually quite a bit more disappointing than you might expect.

BTW, this deal is not a phantom. I saw one at the Union NJ store yesterday afternoon and it showed as $399 at the store, but $479 online. I didn't buy it as I didn't need it. So if you live in Jersey, there is a chance it is still there. Happy hunting.
TLDR: I wouldn't buy this to play VR.

Go to build a PC forum and ask there for help. You should be able build a nice barebones for $400.

Sure, a customer adding a discrete GPU after the fact is a very normal scenario. But why not sell the system with something like a Ryzen 5600 or 5600X?
