I am on a budget, but I am still getting a new PC.
Anyways, I am not good with PC specs at all. So which one should I get based on GPU and CPU
Computer 1:
GPU: GTX 1080, 8GB
CPU: i5-6600K
Computer 2:
GPU: GTX 970, 4GB
CPU: i7-6700K
Thank you for your help!

If you are going to do VR stuff, a GTX 1080 is probably the best card for that. It's crazy.
idk about the rest
Oh bollocks... I lost my Signature!

I would have said: Combine GPU from Computer 1 with CPU from Computer 2 xD
But if you can't, I think the computer 2 is good. I almost got the same but i'm running a GTX960 with 16GB and I got the same CPU.
Just add an another memory module of 4GB (DDR4 2400Mhz Kingston HyperX Fury if possible )

There is an option to choose an extra 2TB hard drive, it doesn't cost much so I think I'll grab that
