Hi
With VR coming need to replace my 5 year old rig. Know you guys are mostly die hard builders but still would really appreciate your thoughts on ready made rig from the specialists!

Basically looking at 3 machines below for which I would like your opinion re config but also pre and cons of one vs the other concept and /or brand - even better if someone has experience with one of them.

As said critical is VR, also do a lot of video edeiting but also important to be able to upgrade components in future , furthermore would want it to be as silent as possible

Thanks again for your help!

JB
