Approximate Purchase Date: Not 100% sure. Sometime in the next few months. I'm kinda hoping to wait for the next gen graphics cards so that the price drops (or I get a better GPU....) but not sure I'll wait.
Budget Range: Roughly $3000 but that's for everything including a desk, monitor, HTC Vive, etc.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Virtual Reality gaming and significant multi-tasking (lightroom photo editing while streaming movies and browsing internet, etc.)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but probably a cheap one. Mostly looking at VR headset for high quality display. I probably won't do much high end non-VR gaming.
Parts to Upgrade: Full new build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg or amazon. No strong preference.
Location: Albany, Oregon
Parts Preferences: Intel Processor.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Probably in the future but not now.
Your Monitor Resolution: Thinking 1920x1080 but not sure.
Additional Comments: No preference at all on looks. I'm going for strictly performance. Preferably very stable and upgradable to be high-end as long as possible without replacing motherboard or processor.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Looking for a good high-end VR system.
