Building a new computer as my computer died

[XAiracobraX]

Hoping to build a computer for VR in the future but playing at 1440p 120+ fps is near term goal.

CPU: I7 10700k 

MOBO: MSI Tomahawk z490

MEMORY: Gskill 2x 16 Gb CL14 3200 (32Gb total)

SSD: Samsung 970 evo nvme 1 Tb

COOLER: Noctua NH-U12A

PSU: Seasonic focus gx-750watt gold plus

CASE: Coolmaster HAF 912

GPU: Hoping to use my msi 1080 gaming 8 Gb from dead computer till 3000 series Nvidia comes out

 

Will this run 1440p well?  With an updated GPU will this run VR well?  Do i need windows 10 home or pro for gaming in VR?

Yes!  you should get over a hundred FPS in QMB with your current card. As you increase the resolution, the graphics card becomes the bottleneck. 

 

The build looks good. Once you swap your card with a RTX 3000 it should be blazing fast at 1440P. 

 don't know about VR.

Is windows home fine or do i need pro?  My last computer was win 7 and only pro allowed full ram usage and full featured compatibility mode.  What is the state of windows 10?

S! 

 

W10 Home should support 32Gb memory. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compare-windows-10-home-vs-pro

Windows 10 Home 64 bit supports up to 128GB of system ram.

I am running Windows 10 Home 64 bit and it does everything I need just fine.

I have Windows 10pro 64 bit version, but you should be fine with the Home version, just make sure you get the 64 bit install.
