THE VOTING PERIOD IS NOW OVER. HANG TIGHT! A BEST BUILD WILL BE PICKED SHORTLY.
Not much has changed between now and our last request for builds. It's hardly been a month since we published the feature. Nevertheless, one big piece of news has dropped. Oculus lowered the requirements for a VR Ready PC thanks to a algorithmic technology they are calling "asynchronous space warp." We thought the news was a big enough bombshell to warrant a request for new builds in an entirely new category: The $600 Oculus Rift Ready PC.
Also, be sure to sign up for our Purch Perks program. Purch Perks is a new cashback program we have available for free for all Tom's Hardware members. You all will likely be most interested in our 2.25% cash back offer on all Newegg purchases. Your cash is sent to you via mail or direct deposit every 90 days, so there is very minimal effort on your end. If you're in the market for a rig or even looking upgrade one or a few components, you should definitely look into this as the cash back offers can stack with any other super sales or Black Friday specials. Take a look.
Thanks everyone who voted in this latest Best Build feature! We'll be announcing the best build in the budget VR category shortly.
Rules:
Good luck, and may the best builds win!
