Im just using this for Vr nothing else. not sure if gtx 1080i is better for vr then rtx 2080ti. Buying a pre build off amazone is my preferred option but im open to all suggestions.



i might go this way if no one has any major objections https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yQcrBb

Looks fine to me, you don't mention what kind of VR but both the HTC vive and Oculus Rift work fine on anything from a 1060 6GB or above.
I'm sure a 2080Ti is better than a 1080 Ti and easily good enough for VR, probably overkill.

I have a 1070 and an Oculus rift, everything runs fine.

Your rig looks good though, no issues obvious to me.

the hp gpu has a metal bracket that makes it hard to upgrade.
i dont wont it to run fine, i want it to be a beast

Im using vive pro w/ lens mod

 

[Dugimodo]

Well you've picked the fastest single graphics card and one of the fastest CPUs so I think beast mode is achieved.

We can always do better. Im on a consent quest to improve. that includes my vr experience . I want the best setup for 2500$ish

Well, if I had $2500 to burn on a VR Ready System, I'd probably look at something like this:

I'd want it small and unobtrusive so as to fit in with the rest of my living room components and my big-screen HDTV.
