Hey all, am looking at building a new PC to replace my current laptop for my work and for gaming / VR (and potentially streaming).
I'm currently a 4th year college student studying computer science and game design, so applications in my typical workflow include:
Unity, Unreal Engine, Visual Studio, Photoshop, Maya, VMWare, and basic office applications
I also usually have 2+ browsers w/ multiple tabs open at any given point, along with the typical background stuff (spotify, discord, steam)
Games I want to play (or am currently playing*) include:
Monster Hunter World*, Death Stranding, Borderlands 3, Valorant, BeatSaber VR, SuperHot VR, Half-life Alyx, Minecraft* (and hosting servers for friends)
My current laptop specs are:
i7-6700HQ, GTX960M, 32GB 2400Mhz RAM, 256GB Primary SSD, 1 Tb 5400 RPM secondary
For monitors, i currently have my laptop hooked up to 2 displays, 1 1080p primary and a 720p secondary. If I can find one in stock, I'd like to get a Asus VG27AQ, but am currently open to options, but also not super pressed to upgrade.
Keyboard: Anne Pro 2
Mouse: Cheap $15 Etekcity Scroll T-142 mouse (might upgrade)
In terms of the build, I thought might be better for my work flow with building applications/games, and i definitely need the 32 GB of ram as my laptop struggled with only 16. The big ssd and harddrive are creature comforts so projects can load just a tad faster.
I'm also not very experienced with VR and am not sure what VR headset to get.
My budget for everything (including a VR rig) is 2000-2500, recommendations and feedback appreciated
