Hi all.
I currently have a Vive Pro running on an aging i5 - 4690 with a GTX1070TI.
It works ok, until I try to use the HTC wireless kit. This canes the CPU and it doesn't cope at all well.
So, newer better machine needed.
I'm looking for something to last 4 years, with minor upgrades maybe. It will be used primarily for surfing, VR gaming (vive pro and maybe in due course a Valve Index),
some video editing, web design, photoshopping and perhaps one day capture for green screen mixed reality videos.
I'm a bit out of date on latest pc tech but going back to earlier 2000s I did build a couple of PCs so I am not entirely green!
Thoughts anyone? I picked the cpu I did as it seems very capable and anything above is probably overkill and needless expense.
(Im saving for the index and future wireless kit if it comes!).
Also went Intel as the HTC wireless has been problematic with some Amd rigs.
I plan to partition the M2, 250Gb for windows, 750Gb programs/steam library.
The HDD is for file/photo storage.
Needs to be wifi and we have 2.4/5ghz router with the kids on 2.4 and us adults on 5ghz, hence the wifi choice.
Case - well its sexy but not mad gamer look !
Any thoughts on improvements or changes?
Anyone got the case?
Anyone running a vive pro wireless?
Many thanks
