Hello, promised my son an oculus rift for Christmas and didn't think to check the required specs. From the research I've done it doesn't look like his system is up to the task, at least not for the newer games.
This is what he's got:
16GB DDR3 1600
1TB SATA III 7200RPM
RX460 gpu (4 gig)
450W PSU
Motherboard -AMD 760G
CPU AMD FX-6100 (3.3 GHz)
I am looking to swap the gpu for a gtx 1070, but I was told that the current motherboard won't be able to make full use of it. To be VR ready, am I looking at a motherboard and maybe a CPU upgrade as well? If so, could I get some recommendations for either a motherboard that will get the job done with his current cpu, or a cpu/mb combo? I don't have a specific price point in mind, I don't mind spending on a good value, but I also don't want to break the bank if I can avoid it.
Thank you!
