$1,500 Intel VR Build

[Neuro]

Okay, so I've been looking into a VR build for myself and I've gotten a $1,500 budget unlike my wife with only a $1,000 budget.

 

I would like the build to be mostly white, as it is easier to paint over white than it is to paint over black.

 

Please keep in mind the case I am using is the NZXT S340 ELITE White case.

Windows 10 and peripherals should NOT be included, this is just a budget for the rig, (Can't stress this enough, but there are always douchebags who still post it up for kicks)

 

Have at it fellas!

Maybe consider waiting for the release of AMD Zen benchmarks?

today of all days is the worst day, to want to build, wait for ryzen's reviews, before wanting a build.

When will the new Ryzen chips be released?

2 weeks, also "but there are always douchebags who still post it up for kick" is not nice and utter bs, seeing as people who do that just misread the post....

you can make a cool i7 7700k 16gb ram and a GTX 1080 with this kind of budget, but really... WAIT for ryzen, it is soo close already and might be a better go, if not it will cheap up intel prices slightly which already is well welcomed.

If you go AMD, the 1700X would be a huge beast for a great price - the motherboards are decently priced as well.  For a mobo with a good black/white aesthetic, I highly recommend the AsRock Taichi - they have the same layout for either X370 (AMD) or Z270 (Intel), so either way, it's a good look.

I would suggest waiting for Ryzen, but if your mind is truly set on Intel;
