Getting Oculus Ready

[TwistedxXx]

Hey everyone I just have a quick question, I'm looking to upgrade my pc to be Oculus Rift ready and need to know if my motherboard is compatible with a few parts. First off my MB is a ASROCK FM2A78M PRO4+. I want to know if it can handle a Nvidia GTX 970 and a Intel i5-4590 and what kind of power usage I'll be looking at in case that needs upgrading also.

I appreciate any and all help!

The i5 4590 uses a 1150 socket, your motherboard has a AMD FM2+ socket, they're not compatible, also for VR i recomend you to get more power, like two 970's.

Okay so with the CPU in mind what would be my best option for the socket type

There is no indication that VR is optimized for SLI... at that price point, better to get a 980ti.
