VR Build, $2500 Max Budget
###Build Help/Ready:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes!
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
Gaming: VR, high settings on favorites like Nier Automata and upcoming games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Half Life Alyx. Would like the option for streaming/recording down the line but not a priority.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
The best I can get within the budget. Looking for 1440p, >60 FPS, high/ultra settings.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
$2500 including the VR headset, a 1440p 144hz monitor, and a keyboard (preferably Cherry MX Brown switches).
In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Provide any additional details you wish below.
I need a build that supports Wi-Fi for now - we're working on moving things around to get an Ethernet connection, but that's a few weeks out. Also please let me know if you think I'm overspending and should lean back on the budget some - I want quality but I don't want to spend hundreds extra on slight performance bumps.
