Hello, me and my brother needs new PCs. Our budget is around 1600$-1800$ including 2 monitors per PC.

He wants to play Dragon Ball games like Xenoverse I and II, FigtherZ, TERA,  AC IV: Black Flag so I created this build:

I think I need a bit stronger build. I want to play Black Desert Online, M&B: Bannerlord, PUBG, CS:GO, Dota2, Assetto Corsa in VR. I was thinking about changing GPU to RTX 2070S in above build.

The case doesnt have to be this one I picked, I dont really mind look of it, I like clean and simple looking cases, my current one is Corsair 200R.

I dont plan on upgrading it. The one I have now lasted around 5 years (GTX 770 and i5-4670K) and I want this one to also last few years and then change it instead of upgrading parts.

I also need advice on picking VR headset to play Assetto and maybe some VR Chat.

The 9600K really doesn't make much sense at the moment. It already struggles in CPU intensive games because of its lack of hyper-threading, and it's more expensive than the Ryzen 3600, which is a better CPU overall. 

The 5700XT offers almost 2070S-like performance for the price of the 2060S, so I think it'd be a good pick for your use case.

Thank you for help. I picked nVidia because I often use shadowPlay to record and save last moments in game. I see there's a AMD ReLive which works the same I hope.

Also I need as much FPS as possible in Black Desert for PVP on lowest settings, at least 300 but it wont be a problem for this PC, right?

I often leave PC running all night idle with BDO in tray. It would be nice to keep it as silent as possible. Would AIO water cooler help keep the lower temps and run quieter then Cooler Master Hyper 212?
