I want to get a good enough VR with only spending $300-$400 on the build. What do you think is the most powerful card I could jam into my system to fall into the "VR works but not great" category?

If you have to compromise I would either get an R9 390 or a GTX 970 but preferably the latter since you'll encounter front-end bottlenecks more often with AMD cards especially with your CPU ... 

Yikes, VR does require a decent amount of power...

 

I wonder when computers will slowly be more accessible to VR. This can be VERY useful, especially in the medical world. Schools can take advantage and allow people to learn hands-on like never before
