Hello, I purchased an Oculus Quest on launch and it was my first gaming system that wasn't an Xbox. I'm very intrigued by the capabilities of PC gaming and I'm looking to expand the library of games through getting a PC. I want to be able to play normal games such as Outer Worlds, Rainbow Six Siege, Modern Warfare, and Tomb Raider. I've done some research and have yet to make any purchases because I have no clue what to do or where to start. I have nothing not even a monitor, no keyboard, no mouse; I only have a desk. I have recently saved $1000 for a starter setup but if I need to spend more to be able to have a setup I could upgrade and would last a long time I am willing to. I'm looking for a system that is capable of running VR games and normal PC games at a high quality. Can someone help me find some decent parts that could help. Thank you for your time.

United States. Microsoft Windows. I have no peripherals at the moment but I'm looking for an average monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The peripherals are not the be all end all as long as they're functional. I'm saving up for a high end monitor and hoping to have it by April but will be probably buying a cheap monitor for the mean time. Hopefully this is any help thank you.
