Not get the Oculus Rift and focus on the PC's hardware first, will be my choice

Posted

Hi. I currently have an AMD FX-8320 CPU, 8gb if RAM and an XFX R9 270x 2gb. I am planning on getting Oculus Rift soon. What would you reccomend upgrading first? The CPU, Motherboard and RAM, or GPU. This are the parts I was gonna replace my CPU, Motherboard and RAM with Upgrade and I was looking at 8gb RX 580/590’s and GTX 1070/1080’s. So what would you reccomend?

PC: Ryzen 9 5900x | RTX 3080Ti | Asus Prime B450-PLUS | ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Gold | 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz RAM | 512GB NVME SSD + 2TB NVME + 6TB WD BLACK | Windows 10 Pro + Windows 7 Ultimate

Laptop: MacBook Pro 15" 2018 | i9-8950HK | Radeon Pro 560X | 32gb RAM | 1tb SSD

iPhone 13 Pro Max | 256GB | iOS 16.5 with Dopamine 2 + Trollstore 2
