    @Randomplayer maybe a USB stick so you can install Windows, if you already had one that’s ok but putting windows on the stick will erase all the data on it.

    @32 I’ve replaced the ram (out of stock) and replaced it with 32 gigs added some thermal paste and added a cpu cooler? Anything else I should add?

    @Randomplayer you probably should get 32 gigs of RAM just for future proofing and you can get a 4060 for very close to the price of the 3060 but otherwise it looks pretty good

    @32 yeah I found some missing parts and it racked up to like 780 bucks. Not too bad that’s within my budget

    @Randomplayer the case doesn't have USB-C, which I think you need. Also some parts are missing prices so its probably like $700 you can buy the GPU used to save some money, if you're paying MSRP for a GPU th. T old you're getting scammed. The thing about these parts lists is they tend to go out of date pretty quickly, I'd start saving, figure out an exact budget, then come back once you've saved that amount ready to buy. Also you can enable customization features and remove the watermark for about $10, just buy a key from gamers-outlet.net. I believe if its inactivated windows can also choose to randomly restart for no reason other than to convince you to activate it, so a cheap key is way better than spending like $200 on one from Microsoft.

    @32 would this be viable? I saw it on a subreddit and it’s pretty cheap too! 1 grand might be too much tbh

    @jamesPLANESii would the watermark show up in my headset?

    Here's a much better list. Also get windows 11, like jamesplanes mentioned you can get it for cheap or free through only slightly sketchy methods. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nvgtcH
    I've played SP with similar specs and gosh dang did it run smooth.
    Edit: you'll want a case with USB-C if you're using a VR headset, that one does not have USB-C.

    What's your budget? It just so happens I've spent a bunch of time creating parts lists for people. I've even built my own PC. Things that stick out with this list is that all of your parts are quite old, on this budget there's no reason to be using DDR4 RAM and an LGA 1151 motherboard. That's not to mention the 2 really old GPUs, one of them seems like it was a misclick though.

    Don't buy Windows. You should get a very slightly limited version for free (only inconvenience is a watermark in the bottom right saying to activate windows) and if that's too annoying or you want to personalise your PC a little bit more, there's loads of ways to activate it for free.

    Get windows 10 or 11, steam doesn't support anything older than 10 anymore.
    The graphics cards should be good enough
    And it's got more ram than my gaming laptop.
    Looks good enough!

    Mm, technical stuff. Wish I could help, but I’m a bit, ah, less than skilled with this sort of thing. I just use a laptop, which is more similar to a (very variable) console.

    First of all why two graphics cards? A 1060 and a 1030? Also if your okay with a used GPU get something like a 3070 for the same price used and SLI is obsolete nowadays as much as we want it back nvidia wont give look at AMD cards too and 8.1 pro? You can get windows 10 for free sorry to be harsh but this is dogshit for 1.2 grand
