Budget: Currently around £400 for upgrades.

Country: United Kingdom.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, R6, and occasional VR usage.

Other details: The link below is what I've put together, thinking is good from my own knowledge, although wanting advice on if it could perform better/cost less with the same aesthetic.

The only parts which aren't upgraded I already have are the CPU and GPU, which I probably would like to upgrade in the future, but not as of right now.

Hello, you should get a bigger ssd drive cause those can run games alot faster than the hard drive can. I wouldnt waste you money getting a 1080 for vr, you should wait to get like a 2060 or 2080 at least.. You also do not need to spend 100 DOLLARS for windows. There so many cheaper ways to do it. Even for free, if you have a laptop or another computer, you can download windows 10 onto a usb drive using microsofts website. Should also go for a ryzen 7 series cpu just for better performance and stability.
