So when I placed my order in March, I was told Late August for delivery. "No worries" I thought to myself, plenty time to hold off on the powerplant and give Nvidia time to release Pascal.
Next thing I know, it's 30th June and Oculus goes and hands my rift to a UPS driver. Houston we have a problem. Oculus arriving monday and I've nothing to plug it into
So I'm in a hurry for a good build and, lo and behold, my old mates at OCUK are still in business (Last time I was here there was a Quake3 trickjumping section - where's that gone?) Yeah - I've been out the PC gaming business for a few years
Best system I could afford looked to be Titan Aurora, upped to 16gig and a 1080 - this is the part where everyone tells me - "Terrible choice"
Give me a break, guys, I was in a hurry and didn't really have time to investigate what's happened to PC gaming in my absence.
Quick heart attack when I realised that "No OS" didn't mean "No media required" it actually meant "No OS" - go figure. USB from M$ in the post with no OEM discount
Still, all said, I'm totally stoked! VR (albeit clunky 1st gen format) is finally here. Somehow I've lived long enough to see it. All I have to do is stay sane from Monday til whenever the rig arrives which is a tall order in itself. Maybe just wearing it on my head and hallucinating a bit will be enough to take the edge off.
So. Ahead of the parts arriving, I figured this might be the best place to ask - what do I need to know?
