Update on situation
6 months ago
My pc is still functioning, but I'm still trying to get enough money for a new pc. So far I've not had any luck, and every single option has been reduced greatly. Every pre-built pc I've looked at is over 2k dollars thanks to the scam that is the nvidia 50 series, on top of the very few that do not include the 50 series and are decent enough do not ship to PR.... I hate living here, nothing ever ships to PR, I swear...
I have been trying to go through commissions to get some extra money but it's been incredibly slow..
I decided to build my own pc as a whole, but as it turned out, a lot of the options are either non-existent, or just out of stock, which has been my entire experience while looking for pc parts literally anywhere.. everything is out of stock, and the only available options are insanely overpriced for what they are.
I managed to build a fairly cheap pc, despite some parts being overpriced on top of the shipping ('cause at least they ship to PR), but I was made aware of an issue regarding the gpu I had chosen.. the intel arc b580 doesn't support vr at all, unless I run virtual desktop (according to stuff I've read online). I've seen absolutely nothing about vr and the b580 in the slightest... I have no clue how well it runs or how it performs in general, there is nothing online about it.
I do want to know if ANY of you have the intel arc b580 and do vr, how does it run? Is it worth it? And if you don't have it but KNOW of someone who does own the b580 and does vr, could you let me know if it is worth it?
'Cause I am running out of options here, and I've been left with just two options if the b580 is a no go.. either I spend a stupid amount of money on a pre-built that can be shipped to PR, or I go to stores here and search for something remotely good (which might end up being twice as expensive for some god forsaken reason)

You could try one of the newer AMD cards (the 9070s), Skytech Gaming's pre-builts do ship to PR I believe, though pretty heavy shipping costs.
Unfortunately, I checked if skytech shipped to PR and they don't, same for a couple other sites I can't remember the name of off the top of my head right now
There's a costco and a best buy here in PR, but as far as I can tell, best buy for some reason doesn't deliver, or I may be stupid and haven't figured out they do, don't know
