Discussing ways to enhance or upgrade this enthusiast setup for HTC Vive VR.
Hey Everyone and thank you for considering my thread and helping me first of all.
Alright! So I want to know the following about my enthusiast build from you experts:
LINK TO BUILD:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/j6Y8QV
- Compatibility -
Is my build going to have any bottlenecks?
- Price -
Am I going to do better with modifying this build at all price wise? Basically, will I save any money going any other way with this build without hurting my overclocking wants?
-
Evolution or Upgradability -
Can I step it up with the hardware of this build or modify any parts in my build that would help with pushing performance or am I ok?
- Cooling -
Big thing for me most of all is to make sure that I will not run hot on this build, any suggestions or am I ok?
I got this error with my build from PCPartPicker:
The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA Express port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA Express port is disabled.
Sorry this is a lot to ask about, but I hope you can help me make this an ultimate build!
Thanks!
1. No
2. Not really clear from what I see
3. I prefer Fractal Design cases or Phanteks.
4. Yes
5. Seems okay. The part of the case fans depends on how many come with your case, usually around 2 minimum. Would add a bit more cooling, but make sure it fits.
There are other choices available, but the decision ultimately depends on your preference. For SLI, 1300 watts is quite high. A minimum of 750 watts seems sufficient, and I think you wouldn't require more than 1000. I will switch my power supply to a 1000 W unit.
What are the other potential bottlenecks?
Can I improve my item pricing?
Would a different case be more suitable?
Will there be space for upgrades like SLI?
Is my cooling performance adequate? Or do I require extra fans or hardware?
Do you think this kind of cooling is necessary for my CPU?

I would suggest adding a bit more cooling. Just confirm you have a compatible case. What additional cooling options are available? I’d appreciate your advice.
