$1400 budget.

Can I buy a vive AND build a VR ready computer with this?

I'm willing to go down and dirty to lowball faggots on craigslist so long as I put together a decent rig.

Is it possible?

Perhaps. I upgraded everything but my case/power supply, and I've dropped ~1200 so far, including the Rift.

No?

Vive takes such a big chunk out of your cash. You're going to have to compromise so much with the PC components you'll likely get frame drops and then it'll be vomit time.

That'll only get worse as time goes on.

How bad is the rift compard to the vive? I'd like to have little hand paddles to interact with my waifus and I don't expect oculus to deliver

Is a compromise on vive -> oculus better than a compromise on a $200 difference in video card?
