I am planning on buying a cheap VR headset that uses a smartphone, then getting an app called trinus VR to use it with my PC. I was wondering if any one knows the best cheap VR headset/Google Cardboard. I have found this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Virtual-Reality-Smartphones-Cardboard/dp/B00P7A25E2/ref=sr_1_16?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1435657422&sr=1-16&keywords=vr+headset which has good reviews. I was also looking at the Archos one and the Knox Next. I am looking for the highest immersion possible for a cheap price.

Current PC build:

The VR market isn't really ready yet

So I don't think you'll find anything interesting for a low price point
