My boyfriend wants a PC to play Beat Saber on, and I'm wondering if this build will work well for that. Here's the part list I found: [link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M4Y3XR). Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!

This build will run Beat Saber perfectly, but buying those parts brand new is a bad idea. You could find better options for less.
If you can snag that part list used for around $300, it could work. For new prices, no way! For Beat Saber, it totally depends on what headset he has. If it connects through USB-C, you're out of luck. It also has to run well over HDMI for a decent VR experience because that GPU is on the slower side.
Yeah, I'd agree. If you can go for used gear, you'll save a lot and still have a solid setup.
Honestly, you might want to reconsider this build. If he's using a Quest headset, even the original one can play Beat Saber just fine. Also, I wouldn't get most of those parts new.
You actually don't need a PC to play Beat Saber if he's using a Quest 2 or 3. Those headsets can run the game natively. But if he wants a PC for other purposes too, maybe check that out!
Are you planning to buy all these parts brand new? Because I wouldn't recommend that for the list you've got.
Exactly! Don't settle for outdated parts when modern options are available at a slightly higher price.
