Experience Games Like Never Before With a VR-Ready Gaming PC

Picking out a powerful gaming PC is a difficult task. Gaming computers vary greatly in type, shape, size, price, and performance. We've rounded up the best picks available today for experiencing virtual reality. This roundup contains pre-built computers from major manufacturers, including Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, among others. Because these PCs are packed with a powerful CPU and graphics card right out of the box, each one is compatible with top virtual reality headsets, including the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. They also meet all the minimum requirements set by Oculus and HTC - the two major players in the VR space.

Building a gaming PC on your own may sound daunting, but it's doable. Plus, you can decide what parts you want to use, which oftentimes leads to a more powerful and affordable machine. Time is money, though, and buying a pre-built PC is convenient and saves a lot of stress. These picks' hardware components - like their RAM and hard drive (or solid-state drive) - are easily upgradeable down the line to extend their lifetime.

Except for our VR-ready gaming laptop pick, none of these computers include a monitor. To find one that'll perfectly suit the rig you like, take a look at our shopping guide for gaming monitors. These picks also don't include a VR headset, either.

Finally, if you're looking to further accessorize your purchase, check out our dedicated guides for finding gaming mice and mats, gaming keyboards, controllers, and gaming headsets.
