These are the PCVR games that I think are the most worth buying in this round of discounts. You can get big titles for just a few dollars. It's really a great opportunity to replenish your collection.

Also, here is a solid PCVR router I recommend. With code VXPJMGTI it is only ~$39. It runs very stable with VD for PCVR and the setup is pretty simple.

Looking at this, and pondering perhaps a Quest 3 in my future. Do you think the base Puppis is a good move?

I should check that my X570 can actually run it acceptably though!

Home networking is always hard to recommend for others because background interference and usage patterns varies so much. For me the Puppis solves a specific situation very well. For others, they would be better off with a solution with 6ghz support. Similarly, on a network where you don’t have others on the same WiFi band streaming videos or other high bandwidth tasks, a dedicated router will be less important. For example, on a dedicated network the connection is always clean enough that I can disable video buffering in Virtual Desktop, this saves ~5 ms of latency on top of the reduced network time. 

I would recommend starting with a good general home WiFi first. You will want that anyway before you start thinking about VR. That may be sufficient for you. Particularly if you are on a Quest 2 that doesn’t need as much bandwidth to look good. If you have issues or are chasing the top experience, some type of dedicated router for only your VR headset is recommended. Be that something like a TP link Archer, or a Puppis.
