The HDD isn't what the price that it says. I got it new at Microcenter for $60 and the monitor is a buffer monitor until I can get a better monitor. I also do have an Oculus Rift and I do use this with it. This is used for heavy content creation, blender, and lots of gaming while streaming.

I think the only things I would really change are to get a mobo with better VRMs and choose a cheaper wifi adapter. Everything else looks pretty solid.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
