Alright thnx guy, I was just wondering if more would be better or just foolish mad Over Kill 

Nah, you're fine with your 1080 Ti and Ryzen 7 CPU, although "fine" is subjective when it comes to VR, because personally I don't believe any current generation hardware provides an acceptable VR experience for myself, as the framerates are not high enough for my eyes (I have eyes that can see fluorescent lights flickering at 60Hz AC power), and holding onto a motion controller of any kind instead of an actual AR-15 or Vice Grips when playing a shooter or car mechanic simulator breaks the immersion for me. But yeah, your hardware will work.

HI, guys I have question. So I want to start VR gaming but im unsure on weather or not if I need 2 CPU's  and if not that's foolish , would I need 2 GPU's then? im still in the middle of building my pc but I currently have a GTX 1080ti and a AMD Ryzen 7 could use some dire advice.

^^^ IIRC a 7th gen i5 and 1060 are VR ready, you should run it easily with an R7 and 1080 Ti.

Ive run it both on my main rig (1700 + 1070), and my laptop (6700HQ + 1060) and they both run fantastic.
