Hello i am in the process of thinking about the specs for my new pc, i have roughly $1000 for a new pc. I currently use a laptop for all my internet needs. I was just wondering what a good custom pc would be ( the more suggestions the better) and if i should build it now or later closer to the oculus's release date. Also i do no plan on upgrading much in the future so this will be my set up for a few years. Thanks

This will do, i did not include a case since this is mostly personal preference (if spelled correctly) at about 50$ you should find a nice case, if you can't i can suggest a list.
