I watched a Vive gameplay demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWproPHhHd0 and ran a VR performance test. Now I'm looking at parts.
This is what parts I have.
MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard
AM3 AMD Phenom II 970 Deneb 3.5GHz Quad-Core
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
8GB RAM/ 60GB SSD/ 1TB HDD
Corsair Tx 650w
The VR performance test says my cpu is capable and I'd like to overclock it. Appears I need an R9 290 gpu minimum. Think a new card will be enough?
*update*
I overclocked to 3.84 and steamVR green lit my cpu
