** GUIDE TO VR: WHAT SPECIFICATION OF PC/VGA DO I NEED? **

You have obviously a pretty good budget, drop the 3900x and get the 5900x instead.
Get 3600Mhz memory.
I would also consider getting rid of the 2TB 3.5 inch drive and get a 2TB NVMe instead.
But, if you are on a budget, let us know and I can suggest some better changes.
AS for VR device. Depends really on your use case. What sort of games do you think you will play the most? Sim type games(Car, flight, Space) which are mainly sit down game OR games where you will be required to stand up and move around like Half Life Alyx, Boneworks, Asgard's wrath, Beat Saber etc.
Hard to recommend anything without knowing what software you intend to use it with. For seated simulation games (driving/flying) then Reverb G2 is the current go to. For general VR gaming then consider a Quest 2 or Valve Index. Either way I'd be opting for a Ryzen 5xxx or Alderlake CPU and faster memory. And if building new you might as well go Windows 11 unless you have software that isn't compatible. Can't comment on professional VR use cases as I've no experience in that area.

Probably more seated than jumping about to be honest - thanks for the feedback

Now the happy owner of an i12700k based system. I'd like to try Halflife:Alyx on my Quest 2, what are the graphics card options that would leave me with both kidneys ???
What do you have? I’d be looking to sign up to the FE drop alert list on Telegram and Discord and aiming for a 3070 or 3080 FE. However a 3060ti or higher end 20x0 or Super variants will also be suitable.

Currently an old AMD R9 200 series
The main use for the PC these days is Photoshop so not looking for an uber gaming rig ( it's been a few years since I spent the night playing CS:Source

unfortunately PCVR requires a higher end gaming pc than a flat screen game so if you have a pcvr capable device you will by proxy end up with a fairly capable general gaming pc rig. I agree with what mischief said btw 3060ti or above or last gen equivalent. a 1080ti would also do a jobCurrently an old AMD R9 200 series

Is the spec in my sig, enough to play around with the Quest VR system?
The Quest or the Quest 2?
It will be good enough for the Quest 2. @ShiWarrior should be able to tell you exactly how good or bad it is, he uses his Quest 2 with a 5700XT.

That's great spec, the cpu is a hell of a lot faster than mine
