    Will my pc work for oculus rift

    https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/powering-the-rift/ that is the minimum recommended specs. I believe that your computer migh be able to handle some games on the oculus rift, but not at playable frame rates. You will have to overclock your a10 at the very least to be ready for the VR. Remember...

    Small Form Factor

    The difference in power consumption is only about $5 a year depending on your Kwh rate from your supplier. getting 16GB is more than you will ever need in the next 5 years.

    New Skylake build

    For that build, your PSU is overkill. EVGA is a good brand, but 750 watts is more than your system needs. SeaSonic is a great PSU brand and 450 watts is about all you will need unless you plan on adding a SLI/Crossfire config or plan on using one of the few power hungry AMD cards. With the extra...

    What should I upgrade to coming from a HD 5770. Thinking of GTX 750 TI.

    Is This a Good Upgrade?

    The a10 takes about 100w for power MSI r7 370 2GB 110w average motherboard 60-70w I would say yes on power, but I would go with a slightly better psu. They are often overlooked to not being important, so for another 10-20 dollars you can get a higher quality PSU, but is not necessary. The...

    Hardware Upgrade Advice

    Jaystwocents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Q8ksRI1Eo Buying a prebuilt charges more than the components are worth, I would recommend building over a prebuilt especially when a true "electronics" store is nearby.
