Everything looks okay except your video card is not strong enough. If you look back at the Configurator, you'll see "VR Ready" next to most of the GPUs, but not the 1650.

In general, you should always get as much GPU as you can afford for all gaming purposes, and VR is no different.

If your budget is very strict, you should look very hard at the Lynx "Best Sellers". The Level 3 and the level 4 would be good VR machines at a bargain price.

OK thank you I had no idea. So in the future would I be able to just upgrade the GPU and be set or would I have to upgrade several other parts to be able to handle a better GPU? Thanks for the help, noobie here

Just the GPU as long as you stay at or below an RTX 2070. NOTE the (Supports up to an Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU) next to the power supply you selected.

If you wanted to be open in the future to a better GPU than a 2070, I'd recommend you get the 850W power supply.

Hey Brian954 : Your build is very close to what I have been compiling. What is the price point. I do want the GTX 1660 and that may be the only change. Thanks in advance.
