I'm not sure what the actual budget will end up being. This is really to get ideas for what would make a good content creation build. It does sound like a workstation GPU is going to be the better choice, but having zero experience with VR creation, I needed ideas to go on.
I do appreciate the ideas so far (even the blow budget out of the water, Ghot-style ones). Budget could end up being over $10K. I have no idea.
If you really end up with a much bigger budget the idea will be to go with at least 32gb of RAM, one of the 10-core e-series processors, and then as good of a workstation card as you can afford, as far as my research has found the AMD cards are currently being optimized better for VR content creation and have better support in Linux depending on what you are looking for, the one I used is a very budget-friendly card but you would certainly see a huge benefit from a much more expensive card with 32gb of VRAM onboard
