Budget build for VR

[azz00]

Hi everyone,

I am aiming to build a system for a small architects practice to use just for showing clients through proposed buildings. We will be using either the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift (unless someone suggests otherwise) with Revit and Enscape.

I was aiming for around £500 (not including the graphics card, we have a spare 4gb GTX 960 which I know isnt ideal but we figured that we may aswell give it a go)

So far I have the following but im a little over the budget and I haven't even included Windows yet. If anyone could help me bring the cost down / choose better components it would be massively appreciated.
