VR build recommendations

[Casper van Ginhoven]

Alright,

so I'm hopefully going to replace my cpu in the near future (fingers crossed for the 1600x). Since I'm currently running a i7-4790k I'm going to have to get a new motherboard and ram.

With this in mind I figured I could take these old components and put together a second system dedicated to VR. That way my brother can play on my Vive without occupying my PC.

However, I will of course need a gpu to complete the system (and a few other things I know). What GPU would you guys recommend? I'm considering the cheaper options like mabye a 

1060 or 480, perhaps a 1070 is more worth the money for VR though? 

 

If you have any personal experiences playing vr titles with either the 1060 or the 480, Id love to hear how the quality of the vr fared for you.

 

Thanks in advance and may the_Linus be with you always.

Rx480 or a gtx 1060. Unless u wanna spend a ton then these are ur best options.

For budget, go Rx 480 or a Fury if you can find one in stock for ~$250.00 (if you can find that Fury, it's ridiculous performance-per-dollar). Just so you know, unless you do more than gaming, the 1600x will be at best a sidegrade, and in most games a downgrade.
