Build Advice minimal upgradable pc for playing oculus LINK quest 2 and 1 advice

[anaturelover]

hi
Dont ask me my budget it is the smallest possible . Im not ready to buy a gpu to play link BUT i would like to buy the moste affordable setup or at least not expensive that would allow me to add a normal size gpu to play link occulus .

Note: i already have ssd+fans + cas + psu

the minimum to roll occulus like is the i5 4590 8g ram. i prefer to invest on gpu instead of the rest of the system apparantly that is what mek the difference.

i could buy this pc below but correct me if im wrong but the below is not atx so it is not possible to add a gpu normal price( i heard the gpu for small mobo are more expensive for the same performance is that true?)

Your cpu is not amazing anymore, but for straight gaming, It might actually be enough.

Throw a 1660 super, or 1070 In for a pretty good gaming experience.
