Have a group of friends who talked me into pc gaming? Always been on console but decided I'd give it a shot. I admit I know zero about building a pc and know nothing about the components. One friend is helping me but I'm sceptical about what he knows so here is the part list he came up with. Hows this look? (Copy and paste what he sent me to get) want to make sure hes not as much of an idiot as me lol

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Looks good. Only change I would make is dropping the CD drive and adding that budget to a bigger so.
I don't see why a CD drive is necessary in this day in age
Edit: what case is that? Post the full pcpartpicker list

How much is the subtotal of all that?
I want to build a VR PC but I don't really need it maxed out for gaming. I just want it to run Vive well.
Can anyone help? I havent built a gaming PC in 10 years.

You'll need something relatively maxed out to run the vive well, though

How so other than the obvious video card? It has less cores and less RAM and less storage.

Bc the video card is the most important piece to the PC for gaming

More cores and ram doesn't matter if it's not being used.

I don't know what you're doing to need 5tb of storage, but if you need that much, get the 5tb and drop to a RTX 2070

It's not only for gaming is why. I'm going to have 2-3 VMs running somewhat intensive programs in the background, hence more CPU and RAM. I'm fine with the specs of the 1070. Storage is also for LTS torrents.

Have fun gaming within the virtual environment. Been there, done that, not worth the extra hassle. Especially since you have to run a windows VM to play most of the steam library (especially games with anti-cheat clients).
You're better off building a ~$1k PC and then buying a Dell R710 (~$300) for virtualization since you can get some low power dual hex core/12 thread CPUs with heaps of ram

It wont be within the virtual environment itself, just along side it. But yeah, it will definitely impact performance. Might just play on the laptop while the VMs are running.
Posted on 2/15/19 at 9:37 am to EarlyCuyler3
I would still look in to an R710 or something similar to run VMs on. Maybe even a T710 (they're a little more expensive than the R series). I like the dual x5600 series chips but I don't care that they're louder and more power hungry. Dual E5600 series chips are great for homelabs since they're far more efficient while still being 12 core/24 thread total.
And DDR3 ECC is cheap as frick, so you can load 128gb in there for less than $250
Edit: And not even mentioning the more reliable raid configs you can run on those things

when building a PC aesthetics matter more than components.
How many LED's does the case have? Add more regardless.

That build needs more RAM. I wouldn’t build anything without 32GB now

And a CD drive.
