Hey All, Looking for some advice! I'm a long time tech enthusiast and have been building my own systems since the Pentium 2 days :=x I usually upgrade every 3 years or so and aim for a mid range system. Looks like this time around I may have quite a lot more budget than usual but am also a little out of the loop when it comes to recent generations of hardware and VR. I've watched Linus and the crew regularly for years and am very aware that the community here are active and very knowledgeable. I thought this would therefore be a good place to ask for help before I blow my kids inheritance on the wrong hardware choices! My aim is to build in the next 2/3 months (so if anything new is about to be released and really worth waiting for then that would be good to know about too). My use case will be primarily a setup for VR gaming (I have a fairly large space which can be used for the sensors etc). Also, I haven't ever been lucky enough to do much high refresh rate gaming, so as well as the actual PC build, and VR setups, advice on high refresh rate monitors would also be much appreciated! Thanks in advance for all the advice, and let me know if you have any questions etc! :=> TLDR: 1. Budget & Location USA, PC: 2500-3000, VR: 400 - 800, Monitor: No Idea. 2. Aim I want the pc for VR gaming, and high refresh rate normal gaming. 3. Monitors I am looking for something which is 144hz or more, maybe HDR, size isn't that important, not sure about panel types and prices. Need Advice! 4. Peripherals Happy with all my peripherals, though I'd like to get a new mechanical keyboard, using a beat up ancient SteelSeries 7G now. 5. PC Hardware So far I am thinking, Intel Core i9-9900K, RTX 2080, not sure about motherboards, coolers, and the rest, still researching. 6. VR Hardware HTC Vive with the wireless adapter. 7. Why are you upgrading? I want to upgrade as I have always had to go for budget systems and am at a point in my life where I can build a 'Dream Rig' type thing, so want to do it right.
