There are only a few computer sims that one could classify as a real wargame, but of those few, one of the best is IL-2 Sturmovik – Battle of Stalingrad.

If you have a MicroCenter near you. Can build one like this for that Price($1100) and be in the great rig arena.

Well guess who doesn't have a MicroCenter anywhere near 
?
The new rig actually cost $ 300 + less than that, and I went strictly by the specs on the Oculus Website. Given the type of games I play, which are nowhere near the high end stuff I see out there now, this should be fine. The need for the new rig was solely because of the Oculus, nothing else.
Besides, I'm just a cheap bast . . . I'm really frugal. Seriously.

PS: My wife is an accountant, so trust me, I feel your pain.
