PC Specs And Requirements For Virtual Reality Gaming

I have a question for you.. im building a vr gaming pc that I will be playing with quest 3 wirelessly through virtual desktop. My graphics card is the GeForce rtx 4070ti super. So it will do higher than 1080p graphics. The monitor I bought is a 1080p monitor cause I'm not playing any flat screen games.. only vr. So when I'm streaming to virtual desktop on my quest will I be able to play in higher than 1080p graphics or am I limited to the 1080p on the monitor cause I noticed that the game shows on the monitor at the same time I'm playing. Or will it show on the monitor on 1080p and play on quest 3 in 4k or whatever graphics I can get out of my graphics card? Basically do I need to buy a 4k monitor to stream 4k graphics to my quest 3??

[@TruGamer4Realz]

You are not gonna get any higher resolution in the quest 3 than what the headset is designed for. Also VD does not go by graphics, its a streaming app. You are limited to your connection via router to headset.

I am looking to build a gaming pc only for playing vr wirelessly on my quest 3 through virtual desktop.. i have no experience.. my budget is around 1500. I don't even know where to start.. is there any way i could get a list of parts and case i should buy from you? Right now im playing pcvr through virtual desktop through a service where i rent a gaming pc on the cloud and pay by the minute. It works good. But i really want to get into pcvr games and i can't help but think it would look and play better if it was connected to my very own pc in the nest room. Please help!

[@TruGamer4Realz]

I would start with a build from somewhere like best but with a 3060 graphica card or higher. 1500 is a decent amount of money and should work with most prebuilt pc computers nowadays if you have no experience building one. Virtual desktop is all based on your wifi connection in your home so if it works well now it should with any setup you get in the future. To be clear the best way to connect via VD would be a wifi 6 router. But if what your doing works well as far as how VD runs, i would keep whatever your doing the same.

[@carcar5911]

@TruGamer4Realz thanks so much for the info. I'm learning alot. I'm gonna need really good wifi. I have a good router for the house but what part should I buy for the pc that would provide the best wifi connection. What part of the pc provides the wifi? And are there better ones or are they all the same?
