Can anyone look through my specs to see if this PC is any good and will run any games at high fps/res and if it will support VR please?

Below is the ultimate gaming PC. If you purchase this and don't purchase a monitor to suit, it's a completely wasted purchase and the experience is not going to be what you were looking for.

It will drive any headset on the market to a world-class level, but you need to be aiming for the high end offerings for this to be worthwhile (G2, Index, Pro headsets, etc).

For the monitor, I would probably want the G9 Neo for the ultimate experience. But for the best visual experience there's a lot to be said for OLED (AW3423DWF). This is the ballpark you want to be playing in though.

Ultimate 4k Gaming / Ultrawide - £3k for the PC, £1k for the monitor
4k Gaming / Ultrawide - ITRO £2.5k for the PC, £600-£1k for the monitor
High end 1440p - £2-£2.5k for the PC, £500-£900 for the monitor
1440p - £1.6-£2k for the PC, £300-£500 for the monitor
1080p - £1100-£1500 for the PC, £200-£250 for the monitor

This is unbelievably rough, but it's a reasonable enough guide for now.

If you have the budget for anything, you need to choose what experience you want to have and we can spec it from there.
If you have a limited budget, you need to figure which area fits your budget best and this will dictate the advice.

We need to know budget & resolution/refresh along with any other uses. Any advice would be made up otherwise.

lets say we go with the 3k for pc and 1k for monitor, will this mean i will be able to play any game with the best quality along with VR, stream and make videos? I want the best resolution and refresh

Pulled the spec back:

With this:

Alienware 34 Inch Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3423DWF) - Computer Monitors | Dell UK

Shop the Alienware 34 Inch Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3423DWF), featuring infinite contrast ratio & AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, or view all computer monitors at Dell.com.

Takes you around £50 over budget. But still well worth it. It's not 4k, as in vertical pixel density, but it's a far richer experience.

If you specifically want 4k then something like this:


Although there are likely better offerings. It's just the price range. Check the monitors thread for the best offerings at the moment.

These machines Scott recommended are top of the line, they will do anything you want them to do but only if they are properly supported

Buying a cheap VR headset, or a cheap monitor to match these two would be a colossal waste.

They are phenomenal machines with the 7800X3D being the best gaming CPU on the market and the 4090 being the best gaming GPU that exists yes they are stupidly capable

CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE RGB High Performance CPU Cooler. Does this require a lot of maintenance? or in general does the PC itself require a lot of maintenance? @Scott

The only differences between the 2 machines are the games drive and the cooler. The first system has 4TB of really fast gaming storage, the second system has 2TB of still exceedingly quick gaming storage. The first system has a bells and whistles cooler, the second system has the less frills cooler..... both are still overly capable for the build though.

There aren't any compromises between the 2 with regards to real world performance. Just a couple of nice to have frills.

No maintenence required on either system other than a clean out of the dust as suggested. Getting a dust blower would be a good investment.
