This is a pretty good PRE-BUILT for VR, and it's on the more reasonable price point for $750. If you want cheaper, then you'll need to build the PC yourself

You'll still need to buy the Rift S separately.

I know this is build a PC place but there is not really a subreddit to ask what pre-built is best deal. Have had laptop for 5 years so not sure on anything. So if this against rules just remove it. I am between 4 choices for pre-built and wanted to know what is at least above 60 fps and 1080p. And what would be the better choice.

   Any advice is apprenticed Thanks.

If you decide on prebuilt I'd recommend this

I feel like the price is a little high for those specs. For reference, I took 2 seconds to look and I found this on Amazon. Obviously take this with a grain of salt bc I'm way too tired to be giving sound advice but I feel like you can get more for 1000 euros (~$1104 in freedom units).

Ninja edit: Just found this too, and I haven't even gone to any of the sites I'd recommend to look for PC's. I'm sure the machine you saw is great and it def will work for what you need it to, but I think you may be able to do better elsewhere.

Is this one good enough for rift S?

Here are some okay options, having a quick look on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-i5-9400F-GeForce-GXiVR8060A8/dp/B07VGJDKZ4/

To be clear, my recommendation is always to build your own, because there will always be compromises with low to mid budget pre-build PCs.

This one? It's a decent value. It even comes with a mouse and keyboard. I wish it had 16GB of RAM instead of 8, but you can add more really easily if it becomes a problem.

Also two years down the line you can pop a brand new graphics card into it and be good to go.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VGJDKZ4/ref=psdcmw_13896597011_t3_B07JJ1ZFKH

I would get that, but I would try to find an identical copy of the 8gb RAM stick in it, and install a 2nd one. 16gb is pretty much needed for new releases. Make sure you put it in the right slot for dual channel config, which runs faster..should only cost you like $35 more

I posted this last time and want another opinion

Sorry, I know you know a lot about this stuff, but I have no idea about any. Is this any good also https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VGJDKZ4/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile?th=1&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VGJDKZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LNE0Db7852MT0

It's on facebook marketplace (person recently got it but wants laptop), so it's local. Here's the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-i5-9400F-GeForce-GXiVR8060A8/dp/B07VGJDKZ4

Is this a good pre built pc?

Your Pcpartpicker is okay but if you don't want to build one this is better - CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC, Intel Core i5-9400F 2.9GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB, 8GB DDR4, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi Ready & Win 10 Home (GXiVR8060A8, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VGJDKZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2Ht4DbET449BG but if you do want to build your own go for this one https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/rgj48d/modest-amd-gaming-build

Check out these sites for advise on building a PC on a specific budget, and shop around current black friday / Cyber Monday deals new PCs, you can do much better:

Sorry to bug you, but I saw this PC on sale for Black Friday. Would that be able to handle Alyx? I think the CPU can, but I'm not sure about the graphics card. I wanted to double check.

It has 1 bad review and you can always return it if you have problems..


Anyway, if reviews bother you - get this one, it's still better than Alienware, and $90 cheaper.

I found these 2, but for the life of me I couldn't find one with 16GB or RAM.

$710 - CYBERPOWERPC - i5-9400F, B360, GTX 1660, 8GB (1x8GB, 2400), 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi

$660 - SkyTech - Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1660, 8GB (1x8GB, 3000), 500G SSD, WiFi

I'm leaning towards the Ryzen pc. I like the faster memory, and while it has less storage, I personally would prefer the larger 500GB SSD over an 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD combo.

One thing to also keep in mind is that it is a single stick of memory. Having 8GB of RAM in dual channel (2 sticks that are 4GB each) is better than single channel (1 stick that is 8GB), but having a single 8GB stick means that in the future, if you do decide to upgrade to 16GB, you will be able to run the most ideal RAM setup for gaming (2 sticks that are 8GB each)

​

For reference:

1 stick of RAM that is 8GB 3000 would cost around $30-40. It's a large margin cause ideally you want to buy the same model that is in your current rig so they match. While it isn't required, running RAM at the same speed and latency (and same DRAM cache modules) is ideal.

1-2TB HDDs are around $30-50

​

Both of these are also very easy to install.

What about this then?

That makes it less bad then, but the deal breaker is no SSD. Nobody should be booting off of a hdd anymore.

A quick amazon.ca search brought up this.

https://www.amazon.ca/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-i5-9400F-GeForce-GXiVR8060A8/dp/B07VGJDKZ4?ref_=Oct_BSellerC_677250011_2&pf_rd_p=9448cb40-999a-5616-b9d4-e484b89d1747&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=677250011&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=7XZ5QJG1WKF41T81DA77&pf_rd_r=7XZ5QJG1WKF41T81DA77&pf_rd_p=9448cb40-999a-5616-b9d4-e484b89d1747

100$ more, but a 9th gen 6 core, and a 1660 6gb gfx, and comes with a 240gb sdd + 1tb hdd. But only 8gb of ram. But that's an easy upgrade.

Just based on what you were saying would this be an ideal pick then?
