Hello!
I'm looking for a gaming PC and am hoping you can provide some advice.
My son would like to use it for VR gaming. He's got an Oculus Quest (first generation) and would like to be able to play "Minecraft VR" and "Blade and Sorcery" through the PC using Oculus link. For the time being, at least, the only other games that will be played don't really require a gaming PC at all (e.g. Totally Accurate Battle Simulator), but I imagine that might change over the next couple of years as he gets older.
Given the main use would be for VR we're not too bothered about the monitor - unless you'd advise otherwise something decent but lower end should do the trick.
The budget is currently £1300. I've no idea whether that's enough
My first question is: would either of the Black Friday deals meet our requirements?
Assuming they won't, here's a spec that I basically copied from a previous thread:
