Build Help
I'm building a computer that will be able to comfortably run ~any games in VR for at least 2-3 years. I am somewhat sensitive to motion sickness so this computer needs to be able to maintain a consistent FPS. I prefer a single big SSD even if it's a bit more expensive than a hybrid solution. I want to strike the balance between getting something powerful enough right now without dipping too far into the high-end where the extra cost gives less value per dollar.
I'm not particularly interested in overclocking or specialty cooling solutions.
Budget is ~1.3k. I'm buying parts in USA.
