budget Budget VR Ready DIY PC

[Sinkidonk]

Hello, I am planning on building a VR Ready PC. I have picked out the part I would like to use in the build, but I am trying to cut the cost down a bit. I was thinking that I can cut the cost by changing the CPU Cooler, Ram, and Case. I was planning on getting, but I don't know what to get in place of what I have picked out already, and I can't really go from the 8 core CPU to a 4 core CPU because I run Virtualbox/Vmware. I don't really need the power supply, I have one that I can use, and the hard drives, I will remove from the system I have now. I don't really what to get a lower cost CPU, or Motherboard, because they go together like bread and butter and I was raised to never be a cheapskate when it come to a CPU, and motherboard, because by the time you're ready to upgrade your motherboard or CPU, it old and nearly double the cost, then it was a year ago. So can anyone help with reducing my total price tag
