I have a Rift S and my PC is 4th gen i7, 5700XT and looks good in Elite and other software.

In the Oculus software I have chosen best quality settings and it runs without issue.

Like a lot of people I have some spare cash with this whole working from home thing over the pandemic and am wondering if there is any benefit to VR with upgrading the PC, can quality be improved?
 
I like it, tough to find quality time on it so still amazed at the immersion quite frankly. My wife gets screen door effect, so that's not ideal, if a new headset could address that it would be ideal.

Ideally I would lighter, wireless, higher quality visuals and inside out tracking, but I know I cant have everything :)

I see reviews recommending the HP Reverb G2 as best, others that say the Pimax 8K and indeed the valve index too so hard to sort out a real winner.

Cost wise, I don't mind spending out for quality. A new PC is fine but then depends on the overall gain to work out if its of value overall upgrading.
 
Is the Quest 2 really an upgrade in visuals though, I didn't think there seemed much in it. I have to admit the Rift is the only headset I have tried, initially at a trade show and then when I bought mine.

I will likely use mostly in sims, I tried saints and sinners but I get motion sickness with controller based walking about. Sat in a cockpit is perfect.
