I'll be building a new PC pretty soon. My current rig can barely muster 20-30 frames in the latest games (Just Cause 3 is just a slideshow!). I'm also into doing a little streaming and video editing. I will likely pick up a VR headset next year.
Here's my build (in Canadian dollars)

I'll be keeping the 2 HDDs from my current rig and I got a Define R5 case for Christmas.
I'll only be using it in 1080p. I use a 42" TV as my monitor. 60 fps max is more than good enough for me. I may pick up a real computer monitor in a year or so. VR will probably be biggest push on this system.
The only thing I'm not sure of is the power supply! I just used a PSU calculator that suggest ~520w. It suggested 120-130w on the 3.3v and 5v rails though, depending on how many HDDs and USB devices I use. I could be using up to 4 HDDs at some point and Oculus Rift si reported to use 3 USB 3.0 ports and 1 USB 2.0 port. Is this a cause for concern or do I not have to worry about these minor rail maximums?
