yeah, that will be fine for vr. not the highest settings, but mid or lower will run well.

The only thing I might change is the SSD-- I believe the SN550 is DRAMless, which is less bad on NVMe vs SATA but still not great. Other than that it looks good!

it's a solid config, and definitely has a reasonable upgrade path, but I do recommend waiting for new stuff.

 

Ryzen 5 5600 is rumored to come out early 2021 at around $220 and of course some mid range GPUs from AMD and Nvidia would come in to replace that GTX 1660 super.

 

if you're itching for VR now you can pull the trigger, but patience can be rewarding.
