User above literally suggested a video card: a Radeon 570 or 580, although we need to know what CPU you're running too.

intel core i5-7400

That's a CPU. You're looking for a GPU (graphics card). As noted above the Radeon RX 580 is a good bet for VR. Alternatively an Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti for a little more.

 

BUT, in order to ensure that these graphics cards are compatible with your system, we need to know what power supply you have (the model number, not the wattage and efficiency rating). Or if you can tell us if that power supply has a free 6-pin connector.

That's what you HAVE. I'm telling you what you can GET. But I also need to know what power supply you have. We basically need to see if the new GPU can get power from it via a 6-pin connector. If it does not have one, then your options will be very limited.
