New PC Gamer - Please Help!

[Laity]

Hello,

I’m looking to purchase my first gaming PC and would like some help please! Forgive me if anything below doesn’t quite make sense, I’m a noob.

What I’ll be using it for:

• PC gaming
• VR (most likely Oculus Rift S)

What I won’t be using it for:

• I won’t be editing/creating content
• I won’t be streaming
• I won't be using it for work

I’m using 'The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners’ recommended PC specs as a minimum requirement for what I need from a VR perspective:

• OS: Windows 10
  
• Processor: Intel i7 8700k / AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
  
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
  
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon Vega 56
  
• DirectX: Version 11
  
• Storage: 40 GB available space

For non-VR, I’d like to be able to play Escape from Tarkov and upcoming games like Cyberpunk 2066 in 4K.
Additional Notes:

• I’d like something quiet
• I’d like something that isn’t going to overheat after 3 - 5 hours of playing
• I was eyeing up the RTX 2060 GPU which I think should do everything I need it to do, but it would be great to get your thoughts
• I’d rather something that looks smart over something with lots of colourful lights
• Would this monitor do a £1500 PC with an RTX 2060 justice?: BENQ EL2870U 4K Ultra HD 27.9" LED Monitor - obviously I'm already spending a lot on the PC so don't want to spend more than necessary on a monitor yet.

Budget for PC: in the region of £1500.

I've never built a PC and quite honestly I just want to start using it as soon as it arrives.

I am currently playing on a PS4 Pro with a 4K HDR TV, so I’m looking for a significant upgrade on graphics and frame rate - otherwise what’s the point!

Many thanks,
Ben

Whoops, I thought this was just a forum and hadn't realised overclockers also sell PC's! I've updated the original post.

Thank you, I'll take a look!
