New Build - Mainly for VR Suggestions wanted :)

Hello there old friends and new friends to come,

 

I made my first build in 2012, with the help of the Linus and other Youtubers back in the day. Well Sasha's getting a bit outdated ? and I'd quite like to plan a new build. I've recently acquired a Fractal Design Arc Mini (MicroATX) case. I'd like to slowly but surely fill it with parts over the next few pay checks lol. Can't believe how old I am now. But that's a little side note.

 

So ATM I've got this setup:

  • CPU
    Intel Core i5-3570K
  • Motherboard
    Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP
  • RAM
    Corsair XMS3 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
  • GPU
    MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition 2GB
  • Case
    Antec Three Hundred Two
  • Storage
    Kingston SSD Now 300 240GB + Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
  • PSU
    OCZ ZT 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
  • Display(s)
    Asus ProArt PA238Q and an Acer K222HQL
  • Cooling
    Stock... I know I'm a terrible person XD
  • Keyboard
    Ducky One TKL ( Cherry MX Browns with RGB) + IBM Model M
  • Mouse
    Coolermaster CM Storm Xornet II
  • Sound
    Audio Technica ATH-M50 + Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD + Logitech X-140 Speakers + Audio-Technica AT2020 Mic
  • Operating System
    Windows 10
     
I'm going to be keeping Storage, PSU, Displays, Peripherals etc. 
 
 
The plan is to be buying old used stuff that's a couple generations behind but good specs!
For example I was thinking for GPU of getting a 980ti on eBay etc.
 
I'd love some suggestions for firstly what spec I really need to do VR but a couple generations behind. 
 
 
 
 
TLDR read is. Would love suggestions for old stuff for VR that's decent for:
 
Motherboard (Has to be MicroATX)
CPU
GPU
RAM (at least 16gb)
 
PC partpicker links for the UK would be useful :)
 
 
Sorry for long post, Here's a tech potato:

The problem with recommending you used Hardware is that we don't know you specific market. It is more like looking what is there, how much it costs and than judging if it is a good item. 

If you buy new it is the other way around. 

I can easily recommend you old hardware. The question is, can you get those?

I would look at a 6700k maybe in a combo with z 170 motherboard and RAM. Depending on the quality of the MB you might get a decent OC out of it with the included CPU cooler or maybe you can buy one.
