Looking for some help

[angryveteran013]

Alright, I actually joined the forums because of this, and because LTT's videos have really helped me understand the basics of building a pc. I am putting together a wishlist of components that I know for sure that I need, and am looking for some advise, mind you 've already thought of my wallet, hence why I tried to find the best pieces for my wallet.

any input would be appreciated!

 

ps: I'm trying to get an entry level vr rig, if that helps. everything that isn't on the list that is essential ie, hard drives, is because I already have some that I can transfer over

What's your budget and what resolution and refresh rate are you planning on playing at?

i really have no budget, because ill take as long as needed to get the parts, but as for res and refresh rate, im happy with 1080p and 60 hz since thats what my monitors are. although i am looking at grabbing a mixed reality headset after i get it built.

Are you planning on overclocking the CPU?

This is probably overkill but I'd buy it because it's good to future proof: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r9JGGG

try this instead, you get a better mobo, a 240gb ssd and a cooler on par with 240mm AIOs.
