Posted August 31, 2017 Want to build a budget VR-ready desktop PC 1. Budget $500 - $700 USD + monitors later. 2. Aim VR, Light gaming but not too graphics-intensive, maybe CAD w/rendering, office use (spreadsheets, number crunching.) Waiting a while b/c I hope to be Coffee Lake compatible 3. Monitors Eventually 2 - right now display is TV at home 4. Peripherals Keyboard w/10 key on it, 2 monitors later. Need O/S, assuming Windows. 5. Upgrading because my current PC is 4 year old laptop and was dropped one too many times, and I just want to build a PC myself. Also, any experience with hybrid hard drives like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178995&cm_re=sshd-_-22-178-995-_-Product ? Wondering if they are only helpful on bootup as compared to HDD only. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might see some stuttering or frame loss in more demanding games, but this should do you well for light to medium VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
