New PC Build - Verify I'm on the right path

[mhentges]

Hi,

Building a new PC for an Oculus Rift VR system, for the kids (yeah, that's it, for the kids!).

Not looking to skimp, but have something that will last a few years - but I don't need to over-spend.

Anything in this list look like it doesn't belong?

This is going to go in the family room - so I'd prefer it to be somewhat quiet.

Trying to keep the budget between the PC and the Rift to total $2k or less. So a better GPU that's $1k more won't be interesting.

Thanks for the feedback!

Change the cooler to a CRYORIG H7.

I'm running the cooler master 212 evo on my 7700K and no issues. Well, other than it is ugly to look at.

850W is overkill if you don't go sli/crossfire. I have that same ram and it is nice. Just make sure to set it up to run at 3000. I also have that SSD and HDD you have selected. Both are good choices.

Since you're wanting VR. Drop down to the Z270 chipset and put the savings into a better video card. I shop at micro center so IDK how much you'd save doing that.
