And you're basing this on what build?.

Bestbuy.ca actually has a decent price for prebuilt OR ready PC. CAD 1399 (on sale) for i7-7700, 16GB DDR3L, GTX 1060, 3Tb + 128GB SSD. Not too bad with the weak dollar. With the new OR bundle (550) that's still CAD 2,202 after taxes. It's only the 3GB ram version though, dunno if that's enough.
Entry level PSVR starts at CAD 350 + 75 + 550 = 1102 incl tax. (or CAD 1,356 for pro plus psvr bundle plus tax)

A GTX 1060 costs CAD 300 here, CAD 360 for the 6GB version. If you can upgrade that's the way to go. I wonder if my ancient i7 can handle that 1060... Nvm, OR checker says my 2.8ghz i7 is too old. I shouldn't be spending CAD 1000 on something I have no time for anyway :) I already can't keep up with psvr releases.
