Hey guys, so I've got an old PC that needs to be upgraded, everything in it is really old and to weak to run the games I want to play. Basically, I don't have a budget, but I don't need the best of the best. What I would like is something powerful enough to run VR smoothly and to run games in a 2K resolution. Now with that being said, I also need a new monitor, preferably a curved 2K monitor, I feel like 4K is overpriced and not worth the money. All I'll be doing is gaming, that's it. No Photoshop or anything art related. When I purchase the parts I need, I'm hoping to get some sort of finance plan set up with 0% interest for however many months I can get. I also don't care about Intel vs AMD, just whatever would be the best for my situation. Thanks guys.

I recommend this.  If it's unsatisfactory for any reason, or you have any question, just mention or quote me.
