Budget (including currency): 800$ at max, including VR rig, but less would be a lot better

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: looking to play beat sabre, subnautica, and superhot, as well as whatever other VR games I find interesting

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

paid 600$ at the time, but here's what I have right now, does 1080p fairly well.

I have all necessary peripherals.

I may also want an audio upgrade at the DAC level, as my headphones sound better on my mac than on my PC, but I don't want to pay much for it.

looking for entry level VR, better to spend less money.

Can I have windows run in a VM and use my graphics card, or do I need to buy a GT 710 or something?  I want to use linux for everything but gaming without rebooting because I may want to run some server stuff

case only came with one fan, should I get more?

Mostly putting out feelers as to how much it'll cost.

thanks
