    I'm thinking about giving Quill a go (mentioned to 2 posts up) and need a PC for that.

    Haven't looked at PC prices or specs in 20 years, any oculus users willing to share their recommended configuration ?

    Thanks!

    • I recently built 2 AMD Ryzen systems and been all over VR for years (I also sell some VR products) VR was my main reason to switch over to PC from 15y mac pros.moldero
    • go w/ Ryzen 7 for a CPU, Ryzen 5 is good but for editing your going to want that extra processing powermoldero
    • as far as GPU's go, I have 1 build Nvidia & the other AMD Radeon, I tried to go all AMD with my Ryzen 7 build but...moldero
    • learned that even though AMD GPU's are faster, their drivers have issues, I would go Nvidiamoldero
    • as far as mother boards, 1 of my builds is MSI, the other Gygabyte, if your pinching pennies go MSI, if you want a sick ass rig go Gygabitemoldero
    • also for editing i would go with atleast 64G ram especially if your rendering VRmoldero
    • follow Linus Tech tips on youtube, he recently streamed an all Gygabite rig a few days ago, you'll learn a lotmoldero
    • building PCs today is WAY easier than it was 20 years ago when I was building gaming rigs + Windows 10 is way more stablemoldero
    • as a designer you'll also realize and appreciate the ability to customize both your hardware and OS unlike apple.moldero
    • my Ryzen 7 build blows the new mac pro out of the water by a long shot at around $2kmoldero
    • my 2013 mac pro (not book pro) would render 15 second VR anims built in AE & particular at around 10-15 hours render timesmoldero
