(this is a repost from another forum that received no responses...making me think I posted in the wrong forum....sorry!)
Hello all who is happy to help!
I managed to secure funding to get two PCs with Oculus Rifts into a public service use... but there is a slight issue. I've been, so far, instructed that I am not allowed to build them- but instead buy 'Oculus-ready systems'....ugh!
This is where I am really hopeful that some of you can help.
Would any of you be able to find a really good value (price to performance) PC (without peripherals) with the following requirements? I really appreciate it so much as I'm not extremely confident on comparing like-for-likes
* Must be able to support most modern Oculus Rift titles with high quality 90fps steady or more
* Must be sturdy and likely to survive silly handling between locations whilst being relatively mobile(less essential though)
* Must be relatively future proof so that a simple GPU swap can give it a couple more years of VR life if possible...and compatibility for future headsets(or easily fixable)
* Ideally come with atleast 1 year limited repair warranty/guarantee....preferably one that doesn't ban overclocking 😉 )
* Has Windows 10 installed
* Costs no more than £800...or not much more... although this can stretch slightly higher if there is a really good reason. No need for keyboard/mouse/monitor etc....just interested in the system
That just about covers it
I appreciate it is a tall order, but I was randomly told to pick a pre-made...despite me already having spec'd out a build-your-own.... eeek!
If you feel super helpful, if you could find me a price comparison if I built everything myself like-for like-...and/or what I could get for the same price that would be extremely helpful to. I really want to make the case for a DIY build - but they only communicate through stats and comparisons... 😉
Thanks so much for anyone who helps me here, please don't hesitate to ask for more details!
If you'd prefer reading my query via the recommended format, see below.
-----------------------
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Next week!
Budget Range: £800 after VAT (I have an approximate total of £1000(£1200 incl VAT) to spend per system including Oculus rift and accessories(except monitor/keyboard/mouse)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: VR Gaming......Oculus Rift with best experience for budget.... no other real use.
Are you buying a monitor: NO
Parts to Upgrade: N/A*
Do you need to buy OS: Yes - doesn't matter if OEM (WINDOWS 10)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebuyer/amazon/custom builder sites/curry's etc....has to be NEW or atleast reburbs with great warranties)
Location: England(Can't see much more unfortunately)
Parts Preferences: Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb or better(preferably super jetstream 😉 )
Overclocking: MAYBE
SLI or Crossfire: Doesn't matter
Your Monitor Resolution: Oculus ready and highly capable
Additional Comments: Would prefer a decent powersupply that won't result in killed components.... Would also prefer mini-ATX or atleast relatively sturdy and portable PC (Don't sacrifice performance for this convenience though)
