hmmm...

 

this is an interesting situation, and i would honestly say it depends on the games you plan to VR.

I suggest an i5 6500

Ideally you'd want a Core i5, an FX-8350 won't help you when it comes to singlethreaded performance.

 

But the graphics card is the more serious obstacle in general, especially for the early VR games.

If you want raw performance go for a r9 390 or wait for the new pascal and polaris cards to come out; don't buy a 970.

Meh, its a personal preference

The r9 390 has 10-15% more preformance in games

390 is a few percent more perfect.

 

But yeah maybe you could try and hang on with the GTX 960 for a little while, then pick up one of the next-gen cards.

is this processer VR ready

i'm waiting on videos where they show gameplay on pc's with lesser specs, i was hoping ltt would do one, so much videos out there just showing them take the test which all of us can do, i will probably just buy one and upgrade if i need to, some people have said if the graphics is not up to par it could cause motion sickness, idk to me that would be a good thing.

if it don't work then i can wait a week or so for the parts to upgrade but i don't want to upgrade if i dont have to. either way i think june or july is when the next batch will ship so i have time to decide.
