VR Ready?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/7KCRBP This is my current rig with a CPU and GPU tweak. I don't wanna upgrade to a skylake mobo, and I need to keep it cheap. This looks, based on the vive page, to be VR ready on the cheap. Would you all agree it is?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Go to steam and download the "SteamVR performance test" it will give you an indication if it is capable

whats the PC?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

you could but i wouldent do it seeing as you cant overclock it and it preforms worse even at stock.
