So, to make it clear, an i5 6600 is very powerful and enough for VR games, right?

I'm going with that one then. Thank you everyone for answering.

Yes but technically, the VR requirements have changed to an i3 + 960

But that is a minimum so... You are much better off with an i5

Oh, so now, suddenly, an i3 is enough?

That's awesome. Now I'm pretty sure my i5 6600 will be a very worthy purchase. Thanks for the help.
