It seems to be fully configurable so you can upgrade if you want to, it's worth noting however that it doesn't come with any peripherals, no monitor, mouse or keyboard etc.

What are you talking about? That cpu/ram/gfx card combo is perfectly fine for VR - yes, not on ultra settings maybe but most competent Vr experiences are optimised more than the usual non-vr ports.
Some people with very small appendages might argue that you need to out and spend £600+ on a graphics card but they are talking out of the wrong end of their body,
Great price OP voted hot!

That PC spec could only handle the most basic of VR. And Occulus Rift has just had a price cut I believe.

Wrong. I can run every VR game I've tried so far on high if not highest settings:
i5 7600k
1060 6GB
8GB memory

You won't be maxing out a lot of games with a 1060 but will be able to play any VR game, I would pay the extra for a 1070.

Essentially £600 for that pc, not too bad.

This is a nice deal - perfect base for further upgrades later and no hassle of building a PC (along with all the liabilities).

1060 is basically the same spec as a 980 so can max nearly everything at 1080 and max most vr games (which tend to be pretty basic graphically) you can also play nearly everything at 2k on high to max. 1070 is certainly better but then again so is a 1080ti, where do you stop?

1060 is nowhere near 980... 970 maybe but not 980

got any links to back that up? from what I've seen the 1060 is marginally behind the 980 (a few fps/% in benchmarks) but always above the 970
for example see here where they try to see whats better an overclocked 980 or 1060. You can see both before and after the OC they are near identical
I have a GTX970 myself and have been enjoying VR without any real issues, so that 1060 should be fine, not like VR games are pushing 4k textures anf resolutions.........YET!.
I do have a icore 7 though so that might be helping somewhat.

Think you're getting confused between a 980 and the 980Ti

Are you 12? Or 45 and very lonely?
Getting to what matters, saving people money (as this is a deals forum afteralll) the 1060 will be fine for VR -

Not a huge amount in it.
High and stable Frame rate is really important to prevent motion sickness in VR.
