With these ground rules to follow:

• 
  ■Do not go over budget.
  ■Use only Amazon OR Newegg to source parts.
  ■Use list prices only: coupons, rebates, bundles or any other limited-time offers will not be accepted.
  ■Do not include shipping or tax in your final budget.
  ■Do not include the Operating System, Monitor or VR Headset, Keyboard, Mouse or Gamepad (Steam Machine).
  ■Do not put your forum handle in the name of your build, and avoid odd capitalizations & symbols.
  ■Provide links to the Amazon or Newegg product pages of each component — we encourage users to use PCPartPicker's System Build for speedy construction. Do not post a link to your build, but rather please be sure to export as BBCode for a quick copy/paste to the forums.
  ■The mini-ITX must be in the m-ITX form factor and have WiFi.
  ■ VR builds must meet minspec for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Good luck, and may the best builds win!
