I recently build a gaming pc but I am now thinking of purchasing a HTC Vive to go along with it, I just wanted to know if my computer is powerful enough. I took the vr performance test and scored about a third of the way into VR Ready.

I am well aware of the htc vive requirements, copy and pasting them into a response does not help me in the least. Things that I actually need to know are things like how well a 480 works for VR and how a overclocked i3 6100 would fair with a htc vive. Not minimal specs
 

Since his i3 is 2 generations newer than the requirements and already overclocked, wouldn't run it at least on a mediocre level?
