Questions about gaming pcs

[Dylan8932]

Hi guys, I recently graduated, and to celebrate I am getting a new pc. My current pc is very cheap and cant run many games. Im looking to spend around $1,000 on a new gaming pc. Is this enough money to play VR games? Is this enough money to get a pc that can livestream?

1000$ is where you can get ALMOST high-end. 100% VR capable, just a little bit further for solid streaming.

this is what you want, BUT you can go for 1060 6GB, Should be enough to fit into your budget.

It is enough. Do you need an OS and monitor and peripherals?
