Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 "Founders Edition" 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (ZT-P10700A-10P)
Seagate SSHD 7200RPM 3.5" 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DX001) SSHD Hybrid Drive
Alpenföhn Brocken 2 CPU Cooler
Acer 24" 144Hz 1080p monitor
Oculus Rift CV1
Currently this rig runs everything non-VR maxed out, and only really struggles with DCS (stutter and dials are difficult to read unless zooming in, which eats frames). I'm considering going for significant upgrades in all the departments in order to achieve 3 major things:
Additional notes to include can be your own suggestions such as "wait a short bit before X comes out". Also, what to do with the old rig? Send it in if there are still parts to use or transfer the hard-drive info, OS (Win10), antivirus. I don't have the technical know-how so likely to send it to OcUK.
£3500 is to give y'all plenty of room to play with, but by no means is a goal to reach if I grossly overestimated how much this goal will cost.
Thank you very much!

Currently this rig runs everything non-VR maxed out, and only really struggles with DCS (stutter and dials are difficult to read unless zooming in, which eats frames). I'm considering going for significant upgrades in all the departments in order to achieve 3 major things:
- Have a rig and headset that can play VR DCS at good graphics; support a headset of a high enough resolution that I can read dials without zooming in.
- Have a rig that can support a large monitor with a good refresh rate (120-144)
- As a result of the above 2: have a future-proof VR rig for the foreseeable future.
