Hi all,

I’m debating a new gaming PC and also to use with my quest 2 via virtual desktop. I’m more of a console gamer but there’s certain steam games I want to play such as ‘Ready or Not’ but not limited to that as I’m a pretty avid gamer. Would the below be a good investment and relatively future proofed?

I'd say it is not a very well designed system, on a dead platform (intel 12th is over 3 years old) and without any headroom for future upgrades.

I'd suggest to have a look on this thread and add all the required information to get a proper advice on a decent, modern system for your needs.
