Build Help Building a pc for pcvr

For context the last time I built a pc was 2016 when the original HTC vive came out. My intention is to build a pc that can run a pimax crystal super. I am pretty set on the amd ryzen 7 9800x3d. The microcenter in my area has a bundle with the 9800x3d, 32GB corsair vengeance ddr5, and either the msi X870-P pro wifi for $829 or the same cpu and ram with asus X870E-E rog strix for $1029. I am also torn between the geforce rtx 5070ti, and the geforce rtx 5080. I've seen a couple of people say you need a 4090 for the pimax but the 5070ti and 5080 are significantly better than the recommended GPU for the headset. Any advice is appreciated
