Dear All,
I am a first time desktop PC builder. Looking to take advantage of black friday deals now, will buy Nvidia 5080 gpu when its available in couple of months.
Objective
* Build VR Gaming PC for wireless gaming with Quest 3. Also occastional QHD gaming on flat monitor.
* Should be able to run games using UEVR (like Atomic Heart, Silent Hill) at least 72Hz and high resolution on Quest 3 and native PCVR games like Metro Awakening, Half life Alyx etc.
* Should connect wirelessly to Quest 3 using Virtual desktop or wireless steam vr etc.
* Does it mean I used get a mother board with wifi 7 inbuilt or should i get cheaper B650E mother board with wifi 6E and later add a wifi 7 card? Quest 3 only support wifi 6E. But Quest 4 should have wifi 7 when i upgrade to quest 4 in future.
* I wont be regularly upgrading & spending more money on the PC for next 5 years at least.
Budget
* Would like build a cost effective PC for VR. Do not want to spend money for asethetics like RGB since it would be put on the floor or hung below the table on the flexispot desk.
* Not worried too much about noise. Unless it interfer with gaming experience too much.
* All the money should be spent to increase the VR performance.
Already shortlisted parts
* 9800x3d
* For now added Nvidia 4090 as placeholder for now but will later buy Nvidia 5080 when its launched in few months. Budget for GPU is around Euros 1000. The system should be compatibile with 5080.
* RAM - CL30 , 6000hz
Please suggest the following parts
* Motherboard - Do I need to spend more for wifi 7 motherboard now? Its should also have primary 16 lane PCIE 5 for GPU
* Case - Need mesh front, good airflow, dust filters. Unsure if I should go for full ATX for accommodating future big GPUs or I should get mid ATX case and later if required just buy a new case with future GPU.
* CPU cooler- Whats the official recommended CPU cooler for 9800x3d? Air or AIO liquid cooler? How often AIO requires maintenance?
* Case fans - Whats the best choice? Buy fans separately from case? Do cases already comes with case fan?
* PSU - Looking for fully modular and ATX 3.x. Should I go with 850W or 1000W? Does gold, silver certification matter?
* SSD - looking for 1TB SSD. How does SSD specs impact PCVR gaming. I have another Samsung 860 1 TB SATA SSD lying around for media.
