I'm a software engineer and a gamer. I also have a HTC Vive. I'm looking to upgrade for extra performance on the VR side and also on the coding side (the project I work on has a lot of docker going on and more memory/cores would be good here).
I have an existing PC from 9 years ago that has been partially upgraded (new graphics card, HDD, etc). Looking to focus on bumping the CPU and memory with this next set of parts.
Probably not relevant, but I game in Windows 10 and code in Ubuntu.
Existing parts I'm planning to re-use:
Is this sane? Is there anything that would be an obvious better choice?
Cheers!
