Hello, I have been planning on building a gaming PC for quite a while now, and I was wondering what the best build would be for VR? Like a moron, I already ordered the case, which is the vivo case-v06, but I haven't ordered anything else yet... Could anybody help me decide a proper build for use with an HTC Vive? My budget is around $900-$1200 including a monitor. Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to help me!

Having to add a monitor onto your 1200$ budget is makes it a bit more restrictive. The strongest gpu could get would end up being a RX 480 8GB. This would end up being closer to a standard gaming rig, rather than a VR gaming rig. Though it could still do ok, as it is still considered VR-ready.
