Thinking of buying an Oculus rift.

Oculus Rift recommended Specs for Consumer release:

NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
8GB+ RAM
Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
2x USB 3.0 ports
Windows 7 SP1 or newer

My Specs:
AMD FX-6300
8Gigs of ddr3 ram
AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
3 Usb 3.0 and of course an HDMI

No. 4590 out-performs FX-6300. You'll want a CPU upgrade. Definitely need a GPU upgrade. You have a low end card, you need a high end GPU.

For the oculus your going to need to be getting VERY high frame rates otherwise you will get alot of eye strain, head aches, it wont be very immersive or enjoyable.

You will want to have atleast a 290x or 970 for a decent experience.

This is all terrible feedback, I'm running an 670 and an i5-3570k, and i can use my oculus rift dk2 fine. These guys probably don't have one, If you can run the game normally without a RIFT you'd be able to use a RIFT and enjoy it.

Your 3570k would be fine, but your 670 performs about as well as a GTX 760. That's pretty mediocre performance and since using a lower end card with a Rift can cause nausea and sickness, it's fairly stupid to do that.

I can run arma 3 on medium setting good! And i can also run this airplane game that had oculus rift feature in it on ultra! At 60 fps
