VR capable PC

[snaggletooth]

Hi everyone. After ordering a PC from PCS back in May (and so far very happy with it), I find myself in the unenviable position of now considering a second PC for my son to use for VR and general gaming. I don't want to spend a fortune but budget £1500ish, with some flexibility. Would this specification suffice? Thanks in advance.

£1500 will get you something pretty capable, but I'd recommend waiting until the end of the month, we're expecting the announcement of the 3060ti which would be perfect for VR and will be a lot cheaper and more powerful than the required current 2070 Super.

Oh that's good to hear; I didn't know that. There's no rush at all. Thanks.

No worries, I'd suggest coming back maybe around the 20th and seeing if there's any update, we may have heard some leaks by then. Then we can get something specced up for you to order and amend it while it's in the queue if necessary.
