This is an emergency build I am having to make as my GTX 280 is dying, and my Phenom 2 x4 945 is overclocked to the max and still showing it's age more and more as I make progress programming my game.
The build will contain my existing 530w PSU, my 1TB HDD, and my current ATX case, so these were not included for the moment for that reason, and I have Windows 10 already that I can install with, so there was no need to pay for something I already have.
I am quite curious what my gaming experience will be like on 1080p, as well as VR with the Rift.
Before people start swapping parts, I will not be able to exceed ~$460 at the moment.
I intend to swap out both the CPU, GPU, and case much later, with my first replacement being my PSU and an additional 8GB ram. I will also transition to a SSD much much later in the build, as load times are not a huge concern.
I am opting out of cosmetic modifications until the final system is completed, as this is unnecessary additional cost.
I am opting for a nice black, white, and silver theme here, so once I do work on cosmetics, I will probably do white hard tube liquid cooling and a non RGB white LED accent light.

EDIT
I forgot to mention a few things:
I live in the US, so $USD
The main games I will be playing are rocket leauge which I can already max on a GTX 280, BF4, BF1, NFS series, ranging from classic to modern, mainly 3,4,5, shift 1 and 2, the run, and the newest one, possibly some other various games that are not very demanding. The biggest modern title I will be touching is Battlefield.
My budget cap within the next 3 months is ~$460. anything higher than this other than ~$10 is not possible for now.

Well, if you want any sort of VR, you'll be replacing both the CPU and the GPU, which you've already mentioned.

The rest should be just fine

1080p gaming might be okay as long as you're fine with turning down a lot of settings for games that are graphically demanding.

 

As for gaming on the Rift, your main problem will be that CPU so it probably won't be that good of an experience. Have you bought a Rift yet?

Be Quiet! pure rock slim is 1.12$ more and will probably perform much better with the added bonus of being a much quieter cooler.

That was something I couldn't get a good answer too. Googling says the 1050 Ti is sufficient, but then I am unable to find any videos on VR and it, much less this specific card.

People don't buy a 1050TI to play VR :\

I haven't yet. Not really trying to rush into a VR set until I know how it will handle coding wise, or if I would have to get a SDK. first goal is to drop my XP era $2k build for something modern.

I would go with 2x4GB of RAM instead if you are going to install only 8 Gigs atm. However, that is dependent on you and how soon you will get another stick.

Very soon. this is just based on my income tax return. the cheaper replacements will be done first, which means RAM, PSU, case, etc.

The 1050 Ti might be the bare minimum for VR. I wouldn't expect super great results, though.

I would invest your Rift money into this new PC first to be honest, then save up again for a Rift. You're most likely not going to have that great of an experience with that kind of hardware.

 

What do you mean coding, btw? Are you supposed to be developing for VR, or what?

I am currently developing a PC game, had to drop the 3DS version, anticipating the Switch SDK, so I was holding off on VR. I might be bale to borrow a rift in the meantime, and was interested in how this would hold up till I finish then get a rift SDK setup going.
I have currently got an android cardboard VR camera functional, but the experience and development for it SUCKS.

So it won't be super graphically demanding I take it? I guess you should be fine with that hardware, but actually developing the game on it might have complications but you should be able to get through it.

 

Since you know you'll be upgrading to a new CPU when you get the money (I'm assuming that you are since you picked a Z board), I would find the funds for a better CPU right now instead. Better memory would also help.

Personally I would love to slap an i5 as a starter than go up to an i7 7700k, but I have a specific budget and that actually threw me up to ~$560. Just opted to oc the i3 to max fan capable oc, then grab my LC kit after the PSU and ram upgrade for additional OCing. This should get my by as I grab my parts each month. as I replace, I intend to sell my older ones, or hang onto them as spares. Heck, I could even grab a second motherboard and have a general purpose unit once these parts are no longer needed, as I still have my parts I am recycling.

The game is not very demanding at the moment as I have targeted mobile platforms and had to work with the EVGA GTX 280 SC. Superclocked or not, I cannot OC the GPU for any more juice (even tried a risky vBios mod to no avail).
This actually limits what I can do with shaders and graphics, even though my current card has juice to easily triple what I have programmed already.

Unfortunately I was already having occasional crashes with my 280, and that vBios mod obviously didn't make matters better (if anything it shortened it's already short life).

Ultimately, I opted to build a PC rather than buy the Switch. The SDK alone will hit me at about $3000 USD in the wallet. That cost is unjustified if I don't have the equipment able to work with it, and my current build already dislikes 3DS development, though it prissily complies with my commands.
