If I were you, I would have gotten an i5 and less ram to make room for a GTX 10 series GPU. You'd probably see a greater performance gain that way with the money spent. But your build will definetely last a long time. No upgrades for a while.
Definitely upgrade the GPU first. The Pentium should be able to hold up for at least a little while longer. The gpu will make much more of a difference.
Get the 950/60 or even the new RX 460/70. All under $200.
I'd say the upgrade order should be GPU, SSD, CPU, RAM, PSU.
No shame in your cable management. It's your first build and cable management doesn't effect your temps too much anyway. You got some nice parts for the price! Good build!
Looks great! You did a great job picking out good parts for the price. Looks awesome! If you don't like the way that cooler looks, just replace that tan fan with a while one. It'll make the computer look so much better.
Nope, most of it's parts are long gone. they're all scattered through a bunch of other computers I've built. The only part I still have from it is the power supply, HDD and ram, haha. Oh, and a green case fan I added in later.
I know you're trying to wait to find a better graphics card, but sometimes it's better just to go for it and buy one now. A lot of people get caught in a cycle of waiting for the next best thing to come out and when you think about it, there's always gonna be a better deal somewhere down the line.
If you really want to start gaming right now, I'd go get a nice card like a 970, 80, or even better. Those should be able to do VR pretty well.
But if you wanna wait, that's cool too and it might be worth it. If I were you, I'd get a graphics card now so I can start gaming.
