You may want to find out what AMD graphics are like with VR nowadays, because I have no idea.

If nvidia are better, I'd consider a rejig of parts to get a 5070. Though the rumoured 5070 Super 18GB would be far preferable to ~£500 for the 12GB version.

There's a CPU cooler in the box of the non-X version.

The motherboard might seem pricey, but it does have a PCI-E 5.0 graphics slot.

4Gb more would be better for VR, Would it be better to pay £58 more for the gen5 faster read/write speed of the 2TB or wont it make that much of a difference?
sorry I should have mentioned I was after a ATX build and not micro.

4Gb more would be better for VR

Yeah, I can understand that, but 5070 is a lot faster in terms of raw grunt.

You could swap the 5070 for a 9070 (Reaper is £500), that has 16GB, but I don't know if going AMD would be a problem.

Would it be better to pay £58 more for the gen5 faster read/write speed of the 2TB or wont it make that much of a difference?

I don't know about VR specifically, but generally for gamers they are not worth it (they shave a few seconds load time, at best) and with a low budget given your requirements I'd say the money is much better invested in the CPU or GPU.

sorry I should have mentioned I was after a ATX build and not micro.

You could substitute the B850 board for the B850 Eagle (if you want to keep PCI-E 5.0 graphics).
