A tough decision

Callum Duncan

I'm building a pc soon and I have a very tough decision to make, I have 2 options.

 

Option 1:

Mechanical Keyboard

32GB 3600Mhz Memory

165Hz 32 inch curved Monitor with G-sync

AIO Water cooler

 

Option 2:

Oculus Rift VR Headset

 

Please impart your wisdom on me, tech gods.

 

Edit: I have come to an ultimatum, work on getting the PC as good as possible for the budget, you can get a VR Headset later.

if it was Monitor with G-Sync or VR Headset i would have had more trouble deciding.

But since you got so much going on in Option 1, there is no way to get a VR Headset and sacrificing crucial things like fast memory and proper cooling.

Option 1 it is.

Whichever set you need the most.

Personally I would go for a mechanical keyboard (if you don't have any right now) and maybe a VR headset if you're into that, but that's mainly because I have plenty of RAM, no need for such a monitor and don't care about watercooling.

You know, its a shame but some people deal with these things called budgets, probably never heard of them.

Drop the AIO, something like a drp4 or a nh-d15 would perform the same.

Are you trying to tell me that you are not spending all your salary on a fancy shining VR Headset instead of getting food for your family or paying rent?
ridiculous.
