I haven't run on integrated graphics in forever, so I was worried it might have awful performance, especially considering it's Intel
But it looks like things should be able to run at 720p at a reasonable framerate

If you do decide to add a GPU later, you may want to consider upgrading the power supply at the same time. The rule of thumb I use is that the power supply should supply double the power that the machine is supposed to consume (Which you've already done here for the current build)
IGPU is fine for basic office work and normal web browsing. I use the IGPU on my 8th gen Mac mini just fine.
Plus if op gets a tame video card 600 watts is enough. The i5 isn’t as power hungry as the 200+ watt i7 and i9s
Just commented about popping out my useless SLI and throwing one of my useless 1080s into this build
Also you think the integrated graphics would be fine for a 32in/large 4k monitor?
If it's not for gaming or video editing/compression, the igpu will be plenty. That's what those are for.
If any 3d gaming is going to happen, you can add the gpu in, but that's an easy drop-in upgrade anyway. You can just stick it in there at a later time if you want.
If you switch to AMD G-series, the iGPUs are much more capable than their contemporary Intel counterparts. I did gaming solely on a 5600G while I waited for GPU prices to drop, and I was able to play the entire BioShock series, Halo Infinite, Prey, Savage Planet, and several others on medium settings, getting 45-55fps @ 1080p (32GB, DDR4 3666 C16).
I don't know about 4K, but I would think it's in the realm of possibility for a non-gaming target.
If my 8th gen Mac mini handles it just fine a 14th gen i5 will handle it just fine. My laptop has the same GPU and I can play a surprising amount of games pretty well on it.
The gtx 1080 would be overkill for just one monitor. Unless you're doing 3+ displays with lots of video skip the dedicated GPU and save the power.
You want to hear something wild? I've got a Ryzen 3600/GTX-1080 system that runs on a 450w power supply.
3600 and the 100 are like peak efficiency. I had my 1080 undervolted so it used just under 180 watts, and even my 5800x3d used maybe 100 watts at any given moment outside of 100% load.
Honestly though a 450 watt power supply is probably just old/low quality at this point. I'd be more worried about the PSU blowing up randomly, than the PSU blowing up from being over loaded.
Yeah I kinda wish I hadn't done that. It's a Corsair SF450 small form factor PSU, they don't even sell it anymore.
I built this rig during the GPU shortage, I stole the GPU out of an old computer a relative was retiring. The CPU was chosen for TDP more than anything else, small form factor case without much room for heat sinks meant a power ceiling.
I do have an extra 1080 from my now useless SLI. Think that'd work with this build and a ~800W± supply?
