Upgrading Dated Computer For Oculus Rift

[Crozen]

Currently I have the following build. 

 

Naga mouse & keyboard

Monitor: 144 hz 32" free sync monitor

CPU: A10-6700

Motherboard: GA-F2A78M-D3H

Ram: 8g= 2x 4 g

Power Supply: 650 W gold

GPU: RX 570 4g

 

I only play hearthstone, league on my computer until i got the rift for my birthday/Christmas. I really like it but the experience is less than optimal. I am not sure what direction i should go for upgrades to run optimally.

 

Option 1: Get the strongest CPU my board can handle?

Option 2: New board and CPU?

Option 3: Order new everything but the gpu and start over?

You need a whole new PC.

Why? Currently the only spot i am currently under Oculus's minimum requirement is the processor. I would definitely go all out and get a new rig when i know i will play alot more often. I just want to make it a decent experience so i can see if i truly want to invest money into playing with it.

Whole entire pc. Any GPU will be bottlenecked.

Would it be possible to start off with mother board and processor? Then buy/build the rest in stages?

Definitely need a CPU, RAM, and motherboard upgrade for at least $240 (Ryzen 1600, B350, 2x4GB DDR4). The RX 570 might be fine but that 4GB of VRAM will hold it back (it's recommended at least 6GB for VR so keep an eye out for a good deal on an RX 580 8GB later on).

Ok so i am looking at get for the upgrade

 

Ryzen 5 2600

Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra

Sniper X Series 16 GB (2 x8gb) (DDR 4 3600

 

Do you guys see anything wrong with these upgrades?

 

Also i have a friend who is selling another RX 570 would it be better to crossfire the two of them or just save and get a better gpu?

3600 RAM is nice and all, but if you are on a budget maybe consider something like 3200 to save 30 $. And what are you planing to do with your CPU? If it is nothing more than a light OC you don't need a X470 board. Go for a B350 or B450 if you don't need the extras. 

[Crozen]

I can get  both the x470 motherboard and the 3600 ram on sale so they are the same price as the 3200 ram and the B450 board. 

 

The price for both was $119 us since they are both on sale on new egg
