I've recently been gifted an Oculus Rift and am looking to upgrade my system to best take advantage of the VR system. I could build a new system from scratch, but I'd rather see if most of my existing rig could be salvaged. I originally built this machine in 2010 and have only upgraded the GPU since.
So, based on the components below, would it be just as easy as replacing the GPU with a more power card (GTX 1070 TI or 1080?) or am I missing something? Motherboard is a bit at its limits, but it looks like it should work...
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (2x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0)
Processor: i7-950 3.07 GHZ 8MB cache
GPU: GTX670
HD: 500GB Samsung SSD
RAM: 20GB - Corsair Vengance
Power Supply: 650W
