Custom VR gaming computers built for Quest 3, Valve Index, Pimax Crystal and the full PCVR catalogue. Discrete RTX 4070-class GPUs, fast CPUs, Wi-Fi 6E options — and the consistent frametimes that keep VR comfortable instead of nauseating.

VR is the most demanding workload a consumer PC can take on. Every frame is rendered twice(once per eye), missed frames cause immediate physical discomfort, and modern headsets demand 2K+ resolution per eye at 90–120Hz. A “decent gaming PC” is not automatically a good VR PC.

The GPU question
VR resolution stacks fast. A Quest 3 renders roughly 2K per eye at 120Hz. A Pimax Crystalpushes 2880×2880 per eye. That's substantially more pixels than 4K flat-screen — and you need to hit them every single frame with no dropped frames.

IndicativeThe CPU matters too
VR is unusually CPU-bound for a graphical workload. Every dropped frame means a visible judder, so consistent low-latency CPU performance matters more than peak multi-core throughput. AMD's X3D CPUs(Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7950X3D) are particularly strong here thanks to their large L3 cache — this is why they regularly top VR benchmarks despite identical clock speeds to non-X3D parts.
The starter VR spec
Inside the build
Optimised for consistent frametimes on Quest 3 Air Link, Valve Index and Pimax Crystal entry tier.
Why frametime matters
A flat-screen game that runs 60–100 FPS feels fine. A VR game with the same frametime variance makes you nauseous within minutes. We tune every Forge VR build to sustain a locked refresh rate — that means appropriate cooling, a quality PSU with headroom, and undervolted GPU profiles where useful. The result is comfortable VR sessions instead of headache simulators.
Built the Forge way
Every VR rig we ship is hand-built in the UK, cable-managed, burned in for 24 hours and spot-checked with a VR workload before dispatch. Free insured tracked delivery, 2-year warranty, and a real human at the end of the email if anything plays up. Configure your VR PC in 60 seconds, or browse our base builds.
Common questions
For comfortable VR in 2026, an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT is the practical minimum. PCVR titles like Half-Life: Alyx, Skyrim VR with mods, and Microsoft Flight Simulator demand significantly more GPU than equivalent flat-screen settings. Quest 3 wired or wireless via Air Link pushes around 2.5K per eye, which scales nicely with a 4070 Super or above.
Yes. All our VR builds include a discrete GPU with DisplayPort and a USB-C or USB 3.0 port suitable for VR headsets. We can confirm specific headset compatibility (Quest 3, Quest Pro, Valve Index, Pimax Crystal, Bigscreen Beyond) before you order.
VR is more CPU-intensive than flat-screen gaming because every frame must render twice (once per eye) and miss-frames are immediately noticeable. We recommend at least a Ryzen 7 7700X or Core i5-14600K for entry-level VR, and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Core i7-14700K for high-end headsets like the Pimax Crystal.
Yes if you're streaming wirelessly (Quest 3 Air Link / Virtual Desktop). We can fit a Wi-Fi 6E mainboard or PCIe card so your PC sits on a dedicated 6GHz channel for low-latency wireless VR.
Absolutely. A VR-ready PC is just a strong gaming PC with a focus on consistent frametimes. You'll get excellent 1440p and even 4K performance in regular titles alongside smooth VR.
No — we focus on the PC. We can recommend headsets and configure your build around a specific model, but the headset itself is purchased separately from the manufacturer or retailer.
