What are the odds that parts pricing and availability are about to get all hosed up because of the potential second stimulus check?

About to? They're already hosed. It's not going to help things, but...

This is what I gathered. I'm currently trying to build my young kids a PC so that they can do this dumb distance learning thing. 8 was hoping I could wait another month or so but it seems like I should probably get on it sooner rather than later

Anything immediately wrong with this? Figure I could drop in a gpu in a couple years when their old enough for AAA games and in the meantime it can handle zoom, Microsoft teams, Lego games and Minecraft well enough.
