VR Gaming Build

[Maxlem]

I'm planning to build a new gaming pc. I would like this pc to be VR ready.

I had this in mind:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz
• CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5
• Video Card: Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming
• Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z270-K
• Memory: Corsair 16GB DDR4-2400 CMK16GX4M2A2400C16
• Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 
• SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
• Case: Corsair Carbide Clear 400C
• Power Supply: Corsair RM750i
• OS: Windows 10

This however, is a little on the high side of the budget. (budget is around 1700€, this setup was ~1900€ on the site i'm ordering from (Alternate Belgium))

 

I'm not really sure about a few things:

• Intel Core i7-7700 or Intel Core i7-7700K?
• Scythe Mugen 5 or Scythe Mugen 4 or something completely different?
• Power supply, is the Corsair RM750i overkill?

i would swap out that 1080 for a 1070. unless you plan on doing 4k gaming u dont need a 1080.  you can go for a 650w psu.  and if ur not going for a overclockable cpu then dont get a z270 board

Any suggestions for a different motherboard?

go for a h270 for b150 board.  the z series boards are meant for overclocking

if you want to cut down on the price, you can use the stock cooler for now, get a cheaper b250/h270 mobo, cheaper case like the s340, change the ssd to a hynix sl308/crucial mx300, psu to a cheaper unit and get windows 10 from reddit. if you want to oc 7700k and if you don't get the 7700. the rm750i is overkill if you don;t wanna go sli, not overkill if you don't.
