Monitor or Oculus

[CerberusReborn]

Was thinking of buying a new monitor this year but then it occurred to me with the Oculus coming out next year I intend to be playing a lot of games with that. So really I guess the question is are big fancy monitors going to become less important with systems like oculus hitting the scene from next year.

Is your ring capable of running Oculus ok?

Yes

Would have been better dropping the money on a beastly GPU to replace my crossfire setup.

This is my thinking, I was considering buying one of new Gsync 144hz monitors but as most of my gameplay has been Elite Dangerous which I think the rift will be perfect for the monitor just seems like a waste.

I don't think big fancy monitors will become less important. I'm upgrading to 3x UHD monitors soon, but when VR headsets come out I'll be buying one, and keeping my monitors for productivity.

If I was still using pro tools then I can see the benefit of this but as I no longer do post my 1080p panel seems more than enough for web browsing.
