VR PC

[BinaryShadow]

Looking to build a SFF PC that will sit on my media centre and output to my TV in my lounge but also drive my HP reverb at 90Hz. I'm thinking ITX, I have put together a PC part picker list, not sure on the case yet, does the rest of it look ok? Not sure on the CPU/GPU pairing, or if I need more than the B450 board. Is there anywhere I can save a few ££? I have some spare 2.5" SATA SSDs for storage.

DDR4 4000 is a bit much, you could pretty easily save a buck by going down to 3200/3600

16GB Micron e-die DDR4 would most likely cost under 100$ but would still overclock at least 3600Mhz

save money for a better card IMO. I want to play racing games at 120hz and im saving for 3080 RTX. Even some games struggle for 90fps.

I have a PC with 2x 2080TI's for race sim, wanted something portable, was using VR (with a Lenovo explorer admittedly) on a laptop with a GTX 980M so surely can get away with something lesser for this build for a bit of beat saber.

Firstly I think that your ram choice is a bit overkill, a 3200Mhz or a 3600Mhz kit would be enough. B450 is also good enough for a ryzen 5. You did not have storage in your build, so I added an m.2 SSD
By not spending so much in ram I was able to add a 1660 super and a hyper 212 black edition that will according to the manufacture fit in the case cooler.

 

Resuming:

better cooling

Storage included

better gpu

Same CPU

If you only want to pay less, you colud do this:

just downgrade the gpu back to the 1650super and use the CPU's stock cooler.
