Yes, the 1500x is much faster than the 4590 which is the minimum recommended for VR. And the 1060 IS the recommended so you're fine.

Hi guys. Found what I think might be a good deal on a computer ( as I'm not allowed to build one) it's has an And ryzen 5 1500x and a gtx 1060 6gb. I can't run the steam vr test as don't actually have the computer btw. Will this be able to run vr? I know that the ryzen 5 1500x is the required spec for oculus so will it be able to run it?

Yes, but don't get the 1500x.  Either get a 1400 or 1600.

I meant 1400, not 1500

What's the difference in price and specs? Oculus states that the recommended specs for CPU was a 1500x will the 1500 still work?

"recommended" hardware is usually not a good metric, you want hard benchmarks.

 

If we're looking at the same Cyber power config pay the +20 for the R5 1600, and the +17 for the 120mm tower cooler, and there's more....

You can easily overclock the 1400 to meet the 1500x.  It's cheaper and comes with a cooler.  Personally, I'd save up some money and buy a 1600.  There isn't that much of a price difference, and it includes a cooler as well.  It's far better than the 1500x because it has two more cores.

I agree with buying a 1600 then just going for a safe low voltage overclock on it. Much better value than leaving a 1500x stock.

Actually forget that, spend + 30 ish from the stock cooler and get a 240mm AIO

Spend an extra 30 on the motherboard for a pretty big step up in quality to the PRIME X370 PRO

Their RAM selection is horrible,  I guess take the 3000mhz single stick and upgrade to 16GBs at some point in the future

You're stuck with a Blower GTX 1060 6GB I guess. dunno if there's other places to go, or if you could just do a basic APU build for now and buy a better GPU later...

PSU should be swapped to the MW 600W Lite

And I think that's everything but it's probably horribly over budget now. Thus why buying on these websites generally sucks.

Also their case selection was terrible.

Do you have any recommendations for websites as I'm not allowed to built my own pc as I would probably mess it up. So any recommendations for websites? ( I live in the UK so if these websites could deliver to the UK that would be brilliant!)

No idea on other websites, it's also nearly impossible to screw up building a PC

Should you build your own you'd want to save your GPU budget for when next generation GPUs are out though, but that same 300 GBP or so would get you about GTX 1070 levels of performance instead of a 1060 right now.

Motherboard may need a BIOS update
