Oculus Rift Build - Suggestions/Recommendations

[beany323]

Specs as specified by the Mfg.

Video Card NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 equivalent or greater
CPU Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
Memory 8GB+ RAM
Video Output Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port

was looking for some suggestions on building a rig to just play this.

my present system is NON - upgradeable with the usb 3.0 and processor.

I can get a "pre- made" one for about 1k. Looks like a good time to build something.

been out of the component search for about 3 years so not sure what is good or bad anymore.

Surprised not see more requests on this.

thanks in advance.

My $1k "Midrange" build in the stickied thread is similar to what I think you're asking for, but has no OS.
