Hi everyone, I'm new to Tom's HW, and created an account specifically to ask for help regarding getting into PC gaming. More specifically, building a gaming PC. I've been passively researching builds for a couple days now, and I'm a little overwhelmed to say the least. I'm primarily a PS4 player, and it'll likely stay that way, but there are a few PC exclusive games I want to play.
Anyhow, here's my current nooby build:

And here are my questions:
How upgradable is this setup?
Do I need to buy a wired network adapter, or do all motherboards come with one pre-installed? My intended setup is going to be right next to my router with an Ethernet cable, so wi-fi is no issue.
The main catalyst for my interest in PC gaming is XCOM 2. However, I obviously will want other games in the future. If possible, I'd like an example of games I wouldn't be able to run with this setup, so I know how much I'm limiting myself.
I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but that's all I can think of right now. I'm welcome to any and all suggestions. Am I missing any absolute necessities? Are there additional parts I should be getting? Thanks in advance.
