And I would *recommend* budget-allowing looking very hard at an improved GPU. Like one of these two unit:

and
https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-...=cat5tv-20
Long-term the extra memory and improved performance will do you well. Since if you find yourself pushing the GPU boundaries sooner rather than later, you aren't eating a good chunk of the GPU cost in usage time. Things like the RAM you have plenty of expansion room. Or extra PCI slots if you find the sound built-in lacking. But the GPU is a much harder component at this level to shell out for a replacement upgrade later. While the initial ZOTAC Recommendation fits in budget nicely and is advertised as a VR-ready part. Pushing it up now to an improved component will serve you very nicely long-term.
