PC Upgrade recommendations

[HonkaGames]

So, I've had this PC for quite a while however i'd like to upgrade to be able to play VR titles with an HTC Vive.
My budget isn't very large so really looking for what upgrades would be recommended in terms of "Bang for buck".
I know the primary upgrade I will need to perform is a GPU but have not kept track of what's good in the last few years.

 

Current Build (Need upgrade suggestions) - https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Honka/saved/6gw7YJ

 

Only 1 monitor listed in current build, but do also have a very old AOC 1680x1050 monitor which I couldn't find listed.

Location is NZ and I'd prefer to buy local due to delivery costs so accept that some variation in cost will apply to suggestions

 

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Correct.  That is what I have right now which does not support VR content

You just need to upgrade your gpu. See the gpu suggestions at https://www.vive.com/eu/support/vive/category_howto/what-are-the-system-requirements.html.

Thanks, but what I am specifically after here is assistance as to what is a good value for money option that is suitable. and have some future proofing.

 

aka, at what point, is spending $10 more NOT going to give me a reasonable upgrade in performance from my chosen GPU

That is actually fairly easily determined. Within a particular model the performance variations are fairly small and mostly determined by clock speeds. The wide range of prices for a given model often relate more to brand popularity, cooling and related noise levels, and at the top end binning, i.e. using tested chips that have better overclocking potential.

 

Establishing a budget pretty much determines the choice of models.
