Skyrim VR looks fun

You won't have a pleasant experience with it imo. Minimum I recommend is GTX 1070 but even that the experience is just adequate.

You can play a decent amount of made for VR games with that although the 8GB version of the 580 would have been much preferable.

 

I'd look out for an old Oculus Rift CV1 with touch controllers and 2-3 sensors or an original HTC Vive kit. Just make sure you can test it as replacement cables especially for the Oculus are very hard to find and expensive.

 

You may have better luck with finding an older windows mixed reality VR headset and controllers as there is less components to worry about as you don't need external sensors but the tracking of the controllers isn't nearly as good so they only track were the 2 cameras on the headset can see. You may also need to buy a separate Bluetooth USB dongle if your motherboard doesn't have it built in or it doesn't support the version the the controllers are looking for which I think is BT 4.0.

The Samsung Oddessy was the best of the original WMR kits as they had built in headphones and slightly higher resolution screens. the Oddessy+ even had built in BT for the controllers so you didn't need the dongle.
