VR Build?

[Fuzz_Ball]

I do believe a 2060Super would be strong enough for a VR system. The idea I have is building a small, powerful system. I already snagged the mobo. So the form factor is set up. Case I am unsure if I want to try my hand at a small form factor case or stick with a traditional look. The VR headset in question is the Index. I do believe the 2060 is able to run it? (if this is in the wrong section, sorry)

Didn't knew there was a P2 500GB drive and it is cheaper than the P1. 

My biggest concern is how reliable are the Radeon drivers now a days, mind me asking.

They were bad in the first couple of months after release. They seem to be mostly fixed now. The 5700xt is within 5% of the 2070 super performance, with a 2060 super price, if you don't need rtx, i'd go for the amd card.

With a case that small, I would need a low profile cooler, I take it? As the stock AMD cooler can be a big side?
