Hey all,
I’m looking to go to a VR capable setup and would also like to transition to 1440p gaming. I currently only really play flight sims and games like minecraft/cities skylines.
my current setup is:
i5 4960k
8gb ram DDR3
280x gfx card
650W gold psu
the graphics card has always been a problem in this build and I’d like to upgrade that first and then gradually move across to the newer CPU chipsets.
I’m not going to spend 1k on a graphics card. In fact if I could buy a rift, gfx and have money left over for some more ram I’d be happy.
What do people recommend? Would a used 1070ti offer enough performance to get me into VR? Would people bother throwing money at this setup to get more ram or just wait and get a newer cpu/mobo bundle?
as for budgets, maybe £1500 all in if I could spread it over a number of months while still gaming.
