Hey I want a PC (Destiny)

Hey I want a PC and I honestly have no clue what I'm doing; I haven't had a desktop computer for years. Consoles have ruined me and now I'm dumb.

The driving interest is getting into VR this Fall and it seems like doing it on anything other than PC would be a waste of money. I'm hoping to save up $1,200 - $2,000 by the end of the year for a PC + VR kit. That might be optimistic, but that's what I'm shooting for.

I feel like every article I read on Google is someone getting a kickback to promote something rather than meaningful advice. Any recommendations from you honest folk on where to start?

I can tell you right now your best bet for VR would be the GTX 1070 or 1080 (~$350 and $650 respectively). No other cards have really had the power to drive VR or 4K unless you wanted to spend a grand or more, and those two cards are more powerful than any expensive card on the market right now.
