New VR Build - Advice would be welcome please

[Doughboy01]

Evening All,

 

I am hoping for some opinions on a new PC that I am planning to purchase/build at the start of next month.

 

1. Budget & Location - I am in the UK and would like to stick to as close to £1000 GBP as possible that is approx 1300 usd. There may be a small amount of wriggle room in the budget but sadly not much

 

2. Aim - I already have an older PC built a few years ago now which is primarily being used as a work PC. But I am planning to take the dive into the world of VR so as I understand I need a fair bit of horse power.

 

3. Monitors - The PC is also going to be situated in a living room rather than the office so will be hooked up to a TV rather than a monitor (TV soon to be upgraded to 4k too)

 

4. Peripherals - No immediate requirement for normal peripherals as I have these anyway (except for the VR headset which will be purchased at a slightly later date and is not in the budget I stated above)

 

5. Why are you upgrading? - Really want to get into VR had a go with PSVR and also an Oculus Rift and there really was no competition the Rift was way better! Also my current PC is flagging a bit now been several years since I put her together so time to move on and have a dedicated gaming rig.

 

Any opinions greatly appreciated:

you dont really need a 3tb hdd I'd reccomend 1tb  and for vr you should get like a gtx 1070

Ah my bad I should have been clearer. the 3tb drive is needed due to other work related projects and will likely be chucked into my other PC and like you said a 1tb drive that I already have will be added to this build. Sorry it was just on my shopping list

 

As for the graphics card would I not notice the difference the between a 1070 and a 1080 bearing in mind that I will at a later date be hooking up a 4k tv to the rig as well?

 

Appreciate the comment
