I've got a reasonable understanding of parts and what they do etc, but there are so many variants I just can't keep up with them all! My budget is about £1,600 but if there's a bargain and significant upgrade for £1,700, I can push it a bit further.

I've been looking at Scan, PCSpecialist, Overclockers and Cyberpower. I also have a Costco membership!

My current PC specs are:

|| || |Processor| | Processor|Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz| | Number of Cores|8| | Speed|4.2 GHz| | Stepping|3| | Family|06| | Model|5E| | CPU ID|BFEBFBFF000506E3|

I play a lot of VR games, if that makes a difference. I seem to recall AMD cards weren't great for VR? Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thank you for your time
