Hello all!

I am looking to purchase an Oculus Rift DK2. I was wondering if my current hardware setup could run in smoothly.
My current PC build is:

AMD Phenom 9600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
8Gbs of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Sapphire Radean HD 7790 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2E1...

Thanks!
 
Are you a developer? Oculus Rift DK2 is meant for developers, it's not a consumer product so you can have problems to run many games on it.
Anyway a high frame rate is really important for VR to prevent getting motion sick, so I would suggest a stronger GPU since the 7790 is a bit outdated.
