Don't buy a Vive!!
Valve Index specs announcement and pre-order is 1st of May with shipping expected in June.
Rift S @ $399 is also another great option but even as an Oculus Fanboy, I'll be seriously interested in the Valve Index depending on specs and price.
Even Vive owners will tell you that you'd be mad to buy a Vive now.
Thanks for the advice,

Just checked out the index and its interesting to me, buy at the price-point don't know if I am a player, can get a Vive for 240euro.
I should note to you, building this VR at work as no space at home, so Price is really a big deal. But interested in hearing differently

Get a new, matched RAM kit at faster speeds - X99 can go quad-channel so might as well.
750W PSU is honestly overkill but since it's free, just use it.
If you can spare a few more quid, get the dual-fan Gigabyte Windforce.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together even editing the prices for me,
Found 2 coolers and a m2 drive and some cases since starting this thread so will post pics later in the week to see would they suit and also reduce the price
I'll take the advice on the quad channel, like the concept and didn't know much about it till reading up.
Might put the spare money into the Graphics card help.
Hoping to get started later this week on the build, 15 yrs since my last one :eek: should be fun !!!0
