VR Build

[danielez]

Budget (including currency): 1600 pounds

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  VR/ GTA 5/ RDR2 

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):

 

My build parts planned or purchased so far:

 

Case H510

Motherboard: B550 MSI Tomahawk 

CPU: undecided between 5600X or 5800x

AIO: MSI Mag 240

GPU: AORUS Master 3060TI - Managed to find one today. Really like the look of this card

PSU: Corsair 850W

RAM: Corsair Vengance PRO 16GB 3600 CL16

SSD - Samsung 970 nvme 1TB

 

Looking a bit of advice around the CPU 5600x vs 5800x and if the build is suitable to do VR properly. 
 

I bought my daughter a quest 2 for Xmas and I want to be able to unlock more of the rift games and play myself on  

 

is the build good enough for say the next 4/5 years for VR? 
 

16GB enough for VR? 
 

Many thanks for reading Daniel

Change that case. The H510 is a metaphorical oven. Even if you have an AIO I wouldn't recommend it. Go for a Meshify C or P400A Digital.

Thanks for the reply. I was unsure of the H510 I really like the look of but was worried about thermals. Thanks for the part list gives me something to go off. 
 

do you think it will be good enough for a good VR experience
