Hi everyone,

 

i'm a slight caveman when it comes to computers and have been vigorously watching all linustechtips videos to find the perfect build for me! 

 

With my limited knowledge and spending a huge amount of money to me of £1680.00 for my new RIG - i would greatly appreciate an expert to suggest if this is a good value Rig for VR 4K and future proof product or offer an alternative.

Motherboard has built in WiFi and bluetooth

Better cooler

Better PSU (though the CX750M is not bad)

More SSD

Better CPU (a 1080 and an i5 can be bottlenecked and if you want to keep it future proof with that enormous money you spend better get an i7)

i attempted to purchase all the components separately on Ebuyer and it only saved me circa 100-150 bucks so i thought the warranty and security of it being built correctly was worth the extra. i'll take another look, do you recommend a good merchant online for parts ?
