VR/Media PC

[Big T]

Good Morning

As normal i'm looking for your expert advise.

I'm looking to build a PC for the living room,with its main uses being VR, Media (Think mass storage of vids/photos) and general browsing. I will require to connect to both TV and VR (Oculus) at the same time so 2 HDMI connections will be required.

I would like it to also be as small and quite as possible. As part of the build i shall also require a wireless mouse and keyboard. I do already own a copy of windows so not required

As always thanks for your help

What your budget ?

Budget isn't really a problem but below £1500 is reasonable

Happy to send more to overclock

Top down coolers are Key with ITX as VRM are less in number, heatsink is smaller and lot of power put through them and heat increases . This cooler is powerful ,quiet and would shave off 20c off VRM

still same budget and ITX form? 1080ti have gone on sale but most ITX cases dont accept or struggle with 2.5/3 slot 1080ti cards

 

[Big T]

to be honest budget is the same but I can go over, the plan is to keep it as small as possible so an ATX can be used just not huge (I will find a way to hide it )

mATX case but is about the size of most ITX cases due to them putting the PSU underneath or ontop of the mobo- this on the on the side. which is wh an SFX-L osu is used, technically a 140mm tall Seasonic Focus could be used but GPU would put pressure on the cables ....

for £1500... small form, GTX 1080TI! and Intel I5 8600K... overclock that to 4.9ghz and you'll be flying!

check bequiet site and 500w psu will power the gtx 1080ti just fine- solid made unit
