What's the budget?

What price did that come to?

What VR kit are you gaming on?

Are you doing any non-VR gaming and if so what resolution and refresh rate is the monitor you are gaming on?

Budget around £1500
Above comes to just over that.
Rift S
Unlikely that I will do any non VR gaming with this.

Thanks!

I'd recommend trying to squeeze in an AMD R7 3700x.

Even the R5 3600 can often outperform a 9600k in gaming - the 3700x's additional cores should help going forward (8 cores, 16 threads vs the 9600k's 6/6)

Rather than buying an expensive 970 Evo and a budget SSD, just get a single 1TB SSD.

If you need wifi, get the better wifi card
