Budget (including currency): $1500 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming with Unity and VS Code, 3D modeling with blender, Gaming at 1080p, and VR Gaming, and Schoolwork with Chrome

Some games I’d be playing:

Half-Life Alyx

Portal 2

Portal 2, in VR!

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

R6

Minecraft with Shaders

Other details:

I’ll be running games at 165hz and 1080p. I plan to soon get another monitor, I currently have only the one. The VR headset I have is the Quest 2.

I have a current part list, and I was told that intel is better for programming. So I wanted to check another forum, just to see.

(For reference, the person on the PCPartPicker forum changed the R7 with an i7-13000K)

I'm not sure whether Intel is better for programming or not. Hopefully someone on here will chime in on that. Here's an Intel build to look at just in case. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan. The psu down below is ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 for the RTX 40XX cards.
