XPS 8900 (Special Edition)by Dell
PROS
- The XPS 8900 Special Edition is an affordable way to get started with VR.
- Gaming performance is solid, even in the base configuration.
- The case is small and compact, so it won't take up a ton of room like many gaming PCs.
CONS
- The base configuration doesn't come with a solid state storage drive.
- The keyboard and mouse are not gaming quality, so you'll probably want to upgrade them.
- The base configuration uses lower-end components and might not keep up well with new VR hardware.

This system doesn't exceed the requirements like more expensive desktops, so it likely won't run games on the highest settings with all the effects on in VR, but it will be able to play at a smooth frame rate.
