I've been scrimping and saving every spare bit of cash since my last PC was bought in 2012, It's starting to show it's age so I'm thinking of getting a new PC and have £1500 to spare. What's the info on best value mid range stuff in that price bracket? Please bear in mind I want to get a pre built system. I don't want VR quite yet but within 6 months will prolly dive in so VR ready system is preferred.
I'd like a mobo as future proof as possible, not all that bothered with overclocking just want a stock fast processor.
Likewise not bothered with Ray tracing yet, would rather a (future) VR capable rig.
SSD for boot drive and large HDD for game storage? I read somewhere (and subsequently forgot where) there's a new faster SSD interface out?
Not sure if 16gb memory is future proof should I go for 32gb?
What's the standard monitor/VR connection now? (currently using DVI still), has it all gone HDMI? do GPUS still come with dual output? Because I have a separate monitor in front of my steering rig for sims and a desktop monitor for everything else I do, so I need dual outputs (and VR will need that of course!)
Also apart from overclockers.co.uk and Alienware I'm not sure where else to look for pre built PCs, who's a recommended builder?
I'm so far out of the loop of PC tech since I last looked into it (as I say 2012!) I'm a bit clueless so any advice will be appreciated.
