an overclockable ryzen in a b350 mobo is a better choice than a locked i5 :

All the parts there look to be pretty solid, although you can get the gtx 1070 cheaper

You can also get the RAM and cpu cheaper too

Pretty much all the parts you could get substantially cheaper off Newegg or Amazon, but if your only concern is if it's VR ready then this is definitely a good build.

Drop the SSD, pointless if you can't get a 240GB really, that only stores OS, software will still be HDD speed.
@OP, save up and get a 1080 instead, the extra performance goes a long way in VR especially.
