    The case has an HDMI port on the front and the video card has HDMI ports on the front of the card (inside the case) to keep the cabling nice and neat for VR purposes.

    Motherboard has wifi if that matters, i picked it tho because its a very good price for a full sized atx motherboard.

    What? A 970 can handle every single VR game on the market, whoever told you a 1070 isnt VR capable is off their rocker.

    A 1070 is one of the fastest video cards on the market, what are you even on about. There are two models faster a gtx 1080 or a 1300 dollar gtx titan, do you really think VR devs are going to code the games so no one on a normal budget can play them? Use your brain my man, sheesh. A 200 dollar rx480 or gtx 1060 is all you need for VR they are marketed specifically for VR but since this person has a 2k budget a 1070 can easily fit in there.
