Aurora R10 Ryzen, VR ready, upgradeable?

@GTS81  Do you know a good configuration for using by on it 

thanks

ok

I guess what @Anonymous recommends? I'm not sure about AMD systems.

Ok thanks

@GTS81   I'm not sure about AMD systems.

I am just figuring if you are in the market for a high-end gaming computer, you should fill it with high-end components. Low-end components with     on the outside of the case will not make it a high-end gaming computer.

Personally I took the freebie peripherals because it's nice to have cheap alternatives for guests/children to use without worrying about what might break. 

Uh... guess I may have forgotten to mention this in my "Experience of Buying an Aurora R8".

I clicked to get the free keyboard and mouse, double checked again at the checkout step that it was selected, and then upon paying Dell the $$$ (through their financing company), poof! No free keyboard and mouse for me.

I actually called order support and was told that I did not select the option. They can help me by either putting in those items and charging me for it or cancelling my order which of course I won't get at rock bottom sale price again (remember, Dell "deals" are a moving target, they fluctuate from day to day sometimes. It helps to record your screen as you click on various radio buttons because sometimes you see a great price fly by and then it doesn't happen again).

So what did I do? I just used a temporary keyboard and mouse until my 6% cashback kicked in, and then price matched the K800 keyboard with Dell to claim part of the reward for a... "free keyboard". Tada!

BTW, read up on Dell's price match policy. It's pretty... interesting.

I guess I got "lucky" scoring the branded keyboard and mouse.  The mouse actually doesn't work anymore but that's a separate issue.

On #1, I guess that same reasoning is why nobody likes the free mouse and keyboard that comes with the pc if you check the box saying you want it during the configuration process?

Hi,

I was in a similar situation but my examples will be VR related to Oculus and nVidia examples.

I have an Oculus Quest, and I would like to run "Oculus Link" to the "VR Ready" PC and in future, be compatible with "Virtual Link". My research narrowed me to the scenario that in any configuration that you choose, you should make certain that the GPU option (let's just use the example of the Nvidia GPUs) should have a USB-C port directly off the GPU card panel. This will future proof your GPU for the fastest path when/if "Virtual Link"  ever, takes off.

You will notice that some GPU manufacturers will provide this USB-C port on the GPU card and many will not. Sadly, the configuration which I choose, with the "entry level RTX" RTX 2060 Super, does not have this USB-C port off the card itself especially the one provided by Dell.

Having said all that for futureproofing "Virtual Link" support, you can today, easily still run "Oculus Link" of a USB-C port from the system main motherboard. The Oculus Link requirement is a Type C (usually stated as USB-C) connector over USB 3.2 Gen 1 Signaling @ 5 Gbps BW minimum.

So choose your GPU wisely...
