    I’m not sure what your budget precisely would be, but there’s plenty of both refurbished and budget headsets available that you can connect to your desktop, if you already have a gaming PC.

      my Pc is a Lenovo desktop for creatives from 2018 (Has a RadeonRX 560 as graphic card) and the store were we bough it seemingly had it for 2 years with out selling it. I live in south america so even getting budget stuff is harder than most of north american and european countries.

        Ah, so you’re probably VRAM bottlenecked. You’d probably be best off getting a Quest 2 refurbished, since it has both standalone and PC connectivity.

          If that requires a Meta account pretty much I won’t be able to use it. I don’t even feel like to create a secret account only for that.

            That’s true - you’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place then. Meta is basically the only manufacturer running in the non-used budget category, and all of their competitors are not standalone headsets (or really budget unless you count old used stock), and your PC may not have high enough specs to drive one.

            Hopefully once you’ve got money to spare, you can get a PC-centric headset at some point.
