picked these parts for a friend, VR gaming rig with a budget of 1200 USD, how did I do? note: the only reason I picked a mechanical drive is to cut costs while prioritizing storage space over storage speed

cpu cooler is a bit much for the level of the cpu

 

[Amin Nausin]

and u seem to have cheaped out on the psu

 

[Jose Meraz]

Personally I would get an air cooler for about $50 and put more money into the Power supply. The PSU will make more noise than you think compared to the cooler.

 

[Jose Meraz]

if you put about $20-30 into the psu you can spend more to get a 2tb HDD as well.

 

[Jose Meraz]

Also ryzen benefits from faster ram so look out for faster ram on the market

 

[Dániel Szenyán]

Maybe better to future proof, so 1600 with stock cooler+a good psu+3000Mhz ram kit and you are good for the next years.

remove the hdd and ssd and go with sshd if you want to go lower

Over doing it with the 1080, 1070 plenty enough for vr.

Alot better components, ssd m2 drive, and a sshd.

 

[Allen J Russell]

Performance with operating system on the m2 drive will be lightning fast.

 

[Allen J Russell]

I use the m2 drive and sshd combo myself . No complaints

Can also change the case for the thermaltake case and save a few bucks. Plus if you sale shop will easily meet the 1200$ max budget. Check out evga b stock items as well and save a few more dollars. Don't skimp on ram with ryzen and.power supply quality must be good.
