Gaming PC built recommendation, please.

Budgets your biggest concern.
Anything higher than the "superb" level here (about a grand GBP) will suit but that is for the lot.
Other sites are available ofc but this one has never let me down, all components work together after building and although I use pcpartpicker to find the best deals, it's a good guide.
RTX 2060 & R5 3600X is the base.

We're just a couple of months away from Ampere, Big Navi and Zen 3 which means either new kit or current kit at reduced prices, oh and Intel Xe, which is the big unknown, is supposed to be imminent.
We've never EVER had such a packed release schedule in one half of a calendar year, unless anyone knows otherwise, ergo - might I humbly suggest one might end up crying into one's Tritium were one to buy literally just before all these new SKUs are released.
NVidia has already started cancelling RTX 2xxx product lines and Lisa Su just can't shut up about how much better Zen 3 is over Zen 2 which is probably really REALLY p***ing off her inventory managers who will be sitting on a cr@p tonne of unsold Zen 2 which will need to be discounted.

Thanks. I have up to £1500. Resolution 1440 x 1600 per eye.
Someone on overclockers has suggested https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-falcon-gaming-pc-amd-ryzen-7-3700x-fs-1ag-og.html Does this make sense for my requirements to run ED on an Oculus Quest?
Do you already own a PC?
No. I already have the quest and it links to the pc so one can play pc games. It is also a standalone headset. Best of both worlds. I am after a PC built by, for example, Overclockers.
It seems that with the Link cable and software on the PC the Quest is actually receiving a low-latency video of VR experiences being rendered by your computer.
2000 reasonable?
I went with an AMD 3800X CPU in my build and if had it been available at the time I would have used a 3800XT instead.Budgets your biggest concern.

I tend to do PC builds based around my monitor capability to graphic card to CPU. In my case I have a 3440x1440 resolution monitor which I wish to drive at that resolution so it is matched with a Nvida 1080ti graphics card (at the time this was the best card available).
It's very sensible to build around your output device.
To be honest @peterbbb that overclockers build will be fine, personally i think the logical increments builds give better value of performance vs cost but as you are not building it yourself (and honestly it is so easy to do) then I would just go with the OC build.

Thanks a lot folks. I have almost decided on an Overclockers build but change to a graphics card that had a USB C to connect the Oculus Quest. This one
