(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)
