$1000 Virtual Reality Gaming PC

[ColeFemo]

Thank you in advance for all of your help!

 

Budget: Around $1000 United States Currency

 

Aim: Virtual Reality Gaming. Most likely on the HTC Vive. Also other games such as Kerbal space program and total war.

 

Monitors: A single 1080p most likely (no need to factor into build)

 

Peripherals: No need to factor in mouse and keyboard into the price, but I will need Windows 10.

 

Upgrade: not upgrading, just building from scratch

 

Notes: I've used Intel and Nvidia in the past with no issues so if possible I would like to stick with those brands. Graphical quality isn't important it just needs to run the games smoothly. That being said, the prettier the better.

 

Thank you so much for all of your help. You can go a little over budget if need be.

do you already have a headset or is that in the budget

NOTE: expensive parts don't mean the best... unless your talking GTX 1080 Ti

Don't worry about the headset in the budget. The budget here is just for the PC.
