Getting a Rift this week - PC specs

[Randy_Baton]

Got a bit carried away and brought a Vive from ebay....

My current rig is bellow and meets spec but wanted to know what upgrade options I should be considering (its the graphics card I know...)


Current Rig

4GB EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H - Z97X-UD3H Motherboard

Intel Core i5 4670K Quad Core Retail

Crucial CT512M550SSD1 512GB M550 SATA 6Gb

HyperX 16 GB 1600 MHz CL9 DDR3 HyperX Beast Desktop Memory Kit (4 x 4GB)

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

600W EVGA 600B 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply
--------


My original plan before VR was to get a another gtx 970 and SLI, but I seem to remember reading that either my particular version of the GTX or my MOBO doesn't support SLI. And I'd also potential need a new PSU. If I can SLI would it be worth it?

Price wise a 1060 would line up with what I paid for my 970, but would that really be an upgrade a should I really be thinking of a 1070 for VR.

Normal Gaming is on a HD TV so I don't need to go above 1080p.

thanks

Edit to add, I'd try the 970 out first too, especially if overclocked, as you might be able to get by with it for a while, let the wallet recover from buying the Vive

I just ran the Vive checker and got a score of 7.8, so perhaps you're right!
