1. dud, why not use a Ryzen 5 1600 instead?

2. Where are you guys getting your parts from? I priced out everything on this build and it's closer to 3 Grand then 2500 .

3. Where you able to use the degug tool to run 200% pixel count on oculus?

4. Hey guys! great video. Do you have a parts list? Given this is a $2500 rig. You still have to foot the bill for the VR gear. Is that a correct statement?

5. check out my rig
   intel core i7 6850k 3.6ghz 6 core processor
   nzxt kraken x52 liquid CPU cooler
   msi x99a gaming pro carbon
   corsair dominator platinum 32gb (4 x 8) ddr4 3000 memory
   Samsung 850 pro 256 gb 2.5" ssd
   Samsung 950 pro 256 gb m.2 ssd
   WD blue 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD
   Evga GeForce gtx 1080 8gb gpu
   Fractal design define R5
   Evga supernova T2 850w 80+ titanium psu

6. will this motherboard handle Two gtx 1080s??

7. 6 core or 4 core, how much of a difference would get with those 2 extra core with vr applications?

8. how's my build
   Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4
   Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
   Western Digital 1TB SATA 7200
   Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz (PC4-25600) C16 Me
   Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO – CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
   EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD, 850W ECO
   Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M
   Gtx 980 ti

   i need info Asap

9. This might be a stupid question but could I use this machine also for 3d modeling, animation and render as well developing games for vr?

10. Is that a single 980 Ti or a dual SLI?

11. GOOD video guys

13. I pretty much just built this exact rig. Although, I opted for the "$600" Asus workstation motherboard for better USB 3.1 and full power across all PCI-E slots for uncompromised future expansion. Also, my Samsung 950 Pro M.2 was only a 256GB and I opted for a Samsung 850 EVO for my second drive. However, I didn't build it strictly for VR, I mainly do graphic design, 3D animation, and video editing. So far it's been worth every penny, hopefully it'll last me 12 years like my last workstation(I think it was the dual Xeon CPU that got me through the rough last few years of its life, the thing sounded like an idling car with a loose change rattling in the cup holder).

14. An x99 system is not needed for a VR gaming computer.

15. Was there any noticeable difference in quality or experience between budget build and this before you crank up the dials?
