[SOLVED] Building New PC. Looking for recommendations

[tannerturner815]

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a whole new computer. I don't know heaps on parts but i'm planning on running a HTC vive and running new and upcoming games. My budget is $2000 even though i've already blown it (bound to happen). I feel like I could save a bit of money on changing the processor though. Is the current one overkill? and if so what do you recommend?

Cheers Legends

EDIT: I live in Australia
