I have a second pc which has the i5 3570s on matx board.. I was planning a Skylake ITX build for VR, however if the above CPU is good enough I could save myself quite bit and get a small matx case.. I have mobo, ram , ssd complete system, but I don't want a CPU that will bottle neck a high end card.. any thoughts?

I don't think you'll be bottlenecking any modern GPU with a 3570 OP. Anandtech's benchmarks indicate that it's still top tier gaming wise, even though most of the games on their list are GPU bound.

I wouldn't really. Oculus demoes are on NVIDIA hardware by default (980 / 980ti). Async-compute might give AMDs a boost though.
from my initial testing
I'd say the 3570 is just off the pace at stock speeds so if it's a k chip then sure will work no problem with a bit of an oc.
the unwritten rule is if it beats 9270 on firestrike it should be ok for minimum reqs

Async performance will be critical for VR.
Nvidia are having serious issues with Async to the point they are requesting developers remove the feature from games. Nvidia have also issued guidelines that limit the chips functionality. No top off all this Nvidia said recently they would be looking at a 7x performance increase from the current hardware to power VR properly. My concern for a VR focused system would be the GPU rather than the CPU.
I'm not sure you upgrading from an R9 290 to a GTX980ti and seeing an increase in performance is reason to call me whatever you called me either.
You upgraded to a faster card and seen a performance increase...

its all speculation.
i wouldn't even buy in the first VR products.
the amount of change that will happen when they launched in a first 6 months to a year will be massive.
think about the product.
for the companies to make money they need to sell. how many will buy with the top end too expensive pcs needed? a very small percentage. so they will not recoup their money back. not until the software kinks processes is less expensive. the companies have billions invested.
so unless you have a very big bank account ready to be emptied every 6 months wait until its worked out.
.
you dont buy on a hope or speculation it will work. that's good for businesses . bad for you.

I think I will hold off on any gpu purchase until the HTC Vr is released. for now i will just build the PC with all existing components and just a new matx case
