gaming desktop pc with VR

[col01by]

so i am wanting to build my first gaming desktop i was hoping to get like medium settings on alot of games

i was also looking at getting a acer windows mixed reality headset 

i have a budget of about $500 preferably $600 if need be

i live in Australia and have no job which makes it harder

could anyone please recommend a build or even a pre built that would work ?

that would be much appreciated

500 dollars I seriously doubt you can make an entire VR ready computer if I'm honest, at least not with brand new parts and I'm not familiar with Australia's second hand market.

yea the reason i chose acer vr is cause its cheaper probably shittier but it has lower spec requirements

Well you can get a X34xx and oc'd to 3.8/4ghz with a decent cooler and slap it a RX 470/570/480/580 and so on I wouldn't reccomend any higher but if you could get it why not?

I would reccomend a X56xx and a X58 board for compatibility and 500gb ssd for your games IDK how much game you will put it or find another gpu day and night I could find a 1080 for 350AUD so if you lucky enough you could get better gpu cheap as hell

Well for a 120aud PSU that's pretty mediocre you could probably get a pp11 and earthwatts pro gold, maybe others like TXm, MWE gold?
