You're planning a new PC setup focused on VR, aiming for a dedicated gaming rig instead of relying on long cable runs or costly solutions. With the Ryzen 7000 series nearby, you're weighing whether to wait for that platform or explore alternatives that fit your budget and cooling needs. The GPU will be a 6900XT or better, paired with air cooling options like an NH-D15S. Your budget for the CPU is around 500€ in Austria or Germany, with flexibility to go up to about 1k, though not exceeding it. This approach avoids future upgrades and keeps your system stable for the next few years.
