Building a PC for gaming, light photo editing and VR. Put together this list based on some recommendations from friends and some personal research. My budget is $1600ish (I'm going to try to snag as many parts as I can in sales because I'm no particular rush to build and can wait a couple months) and I'm buying parts in the USA. Any feedback would be greatly welcomed, thank you!
