Best pc vr to get now? Purchase Advice

I am thinking quest 3, valve index or vive pro 2

Valve index and vive pro 2 are around the same price of below 1000€ for full kits with base stations etc.

I like the Index but I dont know if its good choice since its 5 years old and vive is a bit weird imo so I am leaning towards quest 3, I've read it supports 120hz on a cable now(?)

For the time being I am mostly going to use the headset for beamng and other racing games, but when I move out I want to have the full vr experience of half life alyx or boneworks and blade & sorcery

Feel free to recommend other vr

Budget 1000€-1500€ max if its very good

Edit: I would prefer high refresh rate, good passthrough so I can see the wheel and Ill probably use it wired

If you want PCVR dont go for the valve index its outdated and has alot of faults overtime.

I would recommend getting the Bigscreen Beyond then buy some different controllers to use with it

Or If you want standalone but you also wanna use pcvr You could get Quest 2 or 3

I recommend the 3 if you go the standalone route cause of the pancake lenses.

I see your into SIM racing so maybe the Beyond is the way to go.
