To be honest, I have no clue. Its my sons PC and I am just trying to work out ideas for xmas. Was thinking of upgrades but I am clueless about these things. Wasn’t sure if a better processor or graphics card etc would make a difference. He plays all games and a lot of VR stuff.

Ask him is it struggling in anyway or running fine, theres no point If alls well.

Vr can be graphics intensive So maybe that's an option to ugrade but you would probably need new psu.
