VR Gaming Build.

I need to build a new rig that can handle VR gaming.

My interests are solely in flight combat simulators and space combat simulators.  I'm currently playing War Thunder on a monitor, and I'm having a blast.  I've been waiting for the HP Reverb G2 to come out, as I have a very wide PD and that will be adjustable on the HP headset.  Once it does I plan to start playing DCS World, Eve and Star Citizen in VR.

I want a rig that wii run those games and last at least 5 years before I need to upgrade or replace.

I want a 2 TB NVMe primary hard drive and a 2tb hard drive to back the primary hard drive up to.

I don't care about it being good-looking and I don't want any lights.

If I could get in for under 1,500 bucks, I'd be ecstatic.  If I need to spend more I will.  I don't want to cut corners now and see really decreased performance towards the end of the computer's life.

Is there an existing build that would fit my needs?

Thanks

$1500 is a pretty solid budget. You could so something like this:

The GPU is a placeholder, with the RTX 3000 series cards coming up I put the 2070 Super in since it's about $500 which I think is the right spot for performance at this budget, but what I'd actually choose is the upcoming RTX 3070 instead. With the VR headset you listed it looks like it operates at pretty high resolution so we definitely want to put good budget into the GPU.
