What Ryzen CPU for 1080p 60fps?

[ShadowTheLight]

   I was hoping someone here could help me find something that would be best for my set-up to avoid bottleneck, I want to upgrade from my FX-8370 because I have been told that the Piledriver architecture is bad, the FX-8370 is below minimum specifications for the Oculus Rift S, and I am worried that it won't last me as long as a Ryzen CPU. I really want Ryzen over Intel since I am a bit of a AMD fanboy. I am okay with waiting if 4th gen Ryzen would have a better option than the current generations. Here is as much info as I can think of that could help make it easier to answer my question. I'm sorry if the question isn't specific enough or if this has been asked, as far as I can tell this is how it is supposed to be asked and this hasn't been asked specifically.

I'd get one of the new Ryzen 3 CPU's for that.  3300 or 3100 both would do great.

Thank you very much!

I would wait for b550 motherboards for future compatibility.

Thanks, I'm now looking into getting a 3100 or 3300X with a B550 mobo when they come out, I didn't expect people to respond this quickly!

Be aware that a 3100 can be brought within a sliver of the performance of the 3300x even with the stock cooler

Yes, I have heard this, though I do not overclock since I have been told it can shorten the life-span of the product.

It can, however you can run a stable overclock for years without any issues

Thank you for notifying me, I thought it was shaving a very significant portion of the life span but after watching a PC myths video from Jay'sTwoCents a minute ago I see that CPUs physically last long enough that a year off the lifespan won't matter that much.

Should definitely get the 3300X. Makes absolutely no sense to go for the 3100.

After finding the prices, which was surprisingly hard, I am definitely thinking similarly. The $20 USD difference makes the 3300X most likely the best option for me.

That processor is not below the minimum requirements. The minimum requirements include the ryzen 3 1200, i3 6100 and fx 4350, so that cpu is above the minimum requirements. You may want to upgrade both the cpu and the gpu for th best experience in vr

Also here is a video of that cpu doing vr.  This video may be a bit old.

Oh okay, thanks. I guess maybe I could stretch what I have longer than what I expected!
