If this is better suited for the VR forum it can certainly be moved.

I have a buddy who is going to buy an Oculus Quest and wants a computer to do VR gaming. He is not tech savvy at all and just wants a shovel-ready computer to play VR games.

He was looking at the following computer at Best Buy.

I don't know if the i5 will cut it for VR, 8GB RAM definitely won't but that's an easy upgrade.

I'm looking to get him a build around that ~$700 price range, keeping in mind he has keyboard, monitor, and mouse to get also (can be separate from this discussion). Windows 10 licensing is separate also, just looking for a tower. I don't think he will be playing any non-VR games so I don't think he will need much of a monitor.

I have a MicroCenter local to me but my buddy doesn't (lives about 4 hours away).

I did some research and have a tentative build lined up with wiggle room. Open to recommendations, even if it includes scratching the build and starting over.

Both systems are ok to play VR, the GPU seems a little tight but it will work.
