since it's looking like we might actually have a job soon and thus have more money than we usually have available to us, does anyone here know much about what the best way to get VR going on a budget is? We want to get a valve index (which i know is far from the cheapest VR thingy out there, but we don't want to give money to facebook), but our current computer has a GTX 1060-6GB and we're led to believe that might not cut it for some VR stuff; what gpu is a good cost/performance balance?

@Felthry If you have a Windows computer, you can't really beat the Rift S. If you use Linux as your daily driver, you'll want either a Vive Pro or an Index, but those can be costly.
Also, there are untethered options as well! Meaning headsets that don't require a computer connection and can run standalone! The two main contenders are the Oculus Quest and the Vive Cosmos.
(Also, Oculus is owned by Facebook, so that's something to be aware of. You can still run SteamVR on the Rift S, though!)
@The1AndMany yeah the oculus is specifically what i meant when i said we don't want to give money to facebook
