System Configuration:
Chassis Model: Digital Storm Lumos Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (16-Core) 4.7 GHz Turbo Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) (AMD X570 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) System Memory: 64GB DDR4 3200MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 850W Corsair / EVGA / Thermaltake (Modular) (80 Plus Gold) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: - No Thanks Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS) (NVM Express) Storage Set 2: 1x SSD (1TB Samsung 860 EVO) Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: H20: HydroLux PRO: Exotic Custom Cooling System (CPU Only) HydroLux Tubing Style: HardLine Tubing (Requires HydroLux PRO Custom Liquid Cooling System) HydroLux Fluid Color: Blue Fluid + Clear Tubing (Requires HydroLux Liquid Cooling System) Cable Management: Exotic Cable Management - Blue - (Cable Combs with Custom Color Sleeved Extension Cables) Chassis Fans: Corsair LL Series (RGB Fans) (Software Controlled Effects) Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled Advanced LED Lighting System (Multiple RGB Color Modes) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: Option Not Available CPU Boost: Stock Factory Turbo Boost Advanced Automatic Overclocking Graphics: Yes, Overclock the video card(s) as much as possible with complete stability OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: USB Drive - Windows 10 Installation (Format and Clean Install) Virus Protection: Windows Defender Antivirus (Built-in to Windows 10) Office: - No Thanks Mouse Pad: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) Note the overclocking on the gpu, and cpu. Will this support VR well? How much of a performance hit will I take by not getting liquid cooling on the gpu (I assumed the air cooling would be ok)? Edited by Lidarfuture - 29 Apr 2020 at 7:46pm |

I found this link with some description of PC system requirements for VR:
https://xoticpc.com/blogs/news/requirements-needed-for-computers-to-support-vr Your proposed system runs circles around these requirements. You may want to consider changing your CPU to a 9900K. Games, and I would assume VR, are going to be heavily single core dependent. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/ccg41y/does_vr_benefit_from_12_cores_vs_8_cores_ryzen/ |

I don't recommend overclocking the GPU on it's own fans. They will spin up more often and make more noise for very little gain. This system, as GrandesBollas mentions is overkill. The Ryzens generally don't game quite as well as the Intels. The 3950x is ~$300 more and 5% slower than a 9900k for gaming. DS does NOT overclock Ryzens.
No one needs, or will even use, 64GB of RAM for gaming. If that's your use, more than 32GB of RAM will stand idle. Total waste. I hope you have some really INTENSE workstation type duties for this build. For gaming it's not as good as it could be. Sorry. Edited by Cretae - 30 Apr 2020 at 4:20am |

Yes, the idea here was to create a workstation for my heavy computation projects. I also wanted a system that could game in VR

You have made some very solid choices for a workstation. It should be pretty darned amazing I'd think.
For VR, the RTX2080 will not need any further help. It''s a very strong pick.
