The box of choice is the Corsair Carbide 275R, a sleek, sturdy box, roomy for top-of-the-range graphics cards and high heatsinks, multiple bays for HDDs and SSDs, with tempered glass to highlight interior components and good exterior connections in addition to dust filters.
The chosen processor is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X that offers us 6 cores and 12 processing threads with great performance to pair with high-end graphics cards and enjoy both demanding games and heavy-duty multitasking such as rendering or streaming at a price Very competent, in addition to coming with the standard heatsink that performs its function very well if it is not going to be overclocked.
Although if we want to overclock or keep it cooler we have the possibility of adding the Arctic Freezer 33 Esports Edition heatsink which will keep the processor at bay at good temperatures and low noise, offering two high quality fans and good air flow, in addition to combining perfectly with the rest of the tower.
The Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro motherboard in its ATX format offers some very interesting features in its price range, well complete with multiple connections, AORUS ULTRA DURABLE components, RGB of course, dual BIOS and double M.2 with Thermal Pad to cool the SSD.
Regarding RAM memory, we have chosen the more than well-known and popular Corsair Vengeance LPX with 16 GB of capacity and 3000 Mhz of frequency that will give us extra performance in games thanks to the fact that the processor takes advantage of high speeds.
The lucky card for this team is nothing more and nothing less than the Gigabyte RTX 2060 SUPER with 8 Gb of VRAM memory, enough to play most of the current games at 1080p and 1440p resolution with ultra filters (it always depends on the optimization of each game). Double fan to keep cool while playing. It has no RGB lighting; but it is cheaper. There are many models that offer nice RGB.
Somewhere we will have to save our operating system and our games, right? For this we have the popular Samsung 860 EVO with a 250GB capacity for our operating system and software, while for the rest, our data and video games will be stored in the Seagate Barracuda 2TB storage, two high-quality, reliable storage systems. and durability.
Last and not least, but the most of all equipment: the power supply, in this case we have the Antec HCG Gold 650W that offers excellent quality price with a GOLD certificate and 10-year warranty, and power to spare for a single GPU or even two GPU configuration.
Configuration PC Virtual Reality version Intel + Nvidia
We have also taken the opportunity to make a configuration for virtual reality with an Intel processor (the previous one is also valid) and an Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card.
| Model | Price | |
| Box | Corsair Carbide 275R | 86, 90 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| Processor | Intel Core i9-9900k | 479.22 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| Motherboard | Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi | 213, 90 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| RAM | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16Gb 3000MHz (4x8GB) | 81.99 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| CPU heatsink (optional) | Corsair H100i Pro RGB | 122.43 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| Graphic card | Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER (Choose the one that is always on sale) | 547.40 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| HDD | Seagate Barracuda 2TB | 68.76 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| SSD | Samsung 860 EVO 250GB | 67.16 EUR Buy on Amazon |
| Power supply | Antec HCG Gold 650W | 107.25 EUR Buy on Amazon |
The configuration changes little. We have introduced a latest generation i9-9900k processor, which thanks to its 8 cores, 16 threads and its high frequency will allow us to stream and play without any problem. Regarding the motherboard we have chosen a Gigabyte Aorus PRO Wifi that gives an excellent result and will allow us to overclock. A great combo!
As we have already seen, the Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER is an excellent graphics card. With Ray Tracing technology and its power it will be more than enough to shoot any Virtual Reality game today and in the near future (there are always exceptions). If you find it at a good price, head for it. You can always scale to an Nvidia RTX 2080 SUPER or the more powerful Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti.
The Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER is also compatible with the AMD Ryzen that we have recommended. Don't worry, it won't make a bottleneck.
Yes, we know that the budget is significantly higher than that of AMD, but this configuration is superior in both processor power and graphics power.
Do you need assembly? We recommend you to our friends in Aussar. For the purchase of a PC you can add a free 12 cm mat or fan.
Recommended Virtual Reality Glasses
Currently the market offers three very good virtual reality glasses. The most recommended are:
HTC Vive
- 1080x1200 resolution per eye at 90Hz, display technology specifically designed for VRS, 360-degree monitoring of Roomscale, gyrocomps, and accelerometers also built-in, Roomscale 360-degree one-to-one monitoring drivers, 960mAh battery, lasting at least 4 hours of intensive use, new Hptic motor, Two-stage trigger, tracking thumb pad Includes Vive goggles, two wireless controllers, two base stations, link box, headphones, Vive accessories, security guide and warranty card
It is considered one of the best glasses and that the experience it offers the user is incredible. Right now it is our favorite and the one we think you should buy to have a first-class experience. You can read our review of the HTC Vive.
Oculus Rift
- Minimum price offered by this seller in the 30 days prior to the offer: 449
Oculus Rift has been and is the brand that most bets on virtual glasses. We really want to try them and the experience is on the same level as the HTC Vive. Another safe purchase.
Playstation VR (PS4 only)
- SONY
Playstation VR are designed for Sony consoles like the PS4. So you put it in a PC configuration? Everything indicates that Sony will give support for PC (They are "only" 400 euros) and it serves you for the best-selling video game console on the planet. It is good to keep this in mind. You also have to take into account that you must add at least the Playstation Camera and the possibility of buying at least the Playstation Move and forget about the controller.
Final words and conclusion. Is it worth buying a Virtual Reality PC?
If you want to have an incredible experience and you have the money ahead. But between the cheap Virtual Reality PC configuration and the glasses you will get the set over 1800 euros. The good thing that you will have a computer to play on a Full HD quality monitor and with your virtual reality glasses.
