I am lost

[b322]

Hey guys I want to build a gaming PC cause #buildnotbought. It's my first gaming PC and all of my friends are starting to play PC and VR games. My budget doesn't include windows and I'm totally lost. I want to spend about $700 USD on the PC. I'm completely lost with running VR. Please help

Is the $700 for just the PC or do you need to include the VR headset in that too?

no just the PC I got the head set

There are  so many ways to build a vr ready pc i dont even want to bother putting together a build.

 

The beauty of building a pc is figuring out stuff for yourself, so google one, put together a PC yourself, and come back to us with your pcpartpicker link.

This ^^^

 

Do some googling, look at benchmarks for your games, see what you need for a good VR experience (I'd assume steady frametimes and IIRC about 90fps to avoid getting sick, but I haven't looked into it much), etc.
