Can a few people share their recommendations for PC configurations required for:
A. High end Oculus Rift playback/use
B. Developing Oculus Rift VR content.
Thanks!

    The machine to get is the best one you can afford to buy.

    In general, Nvidia GPUs and Intel CPUs will be better performers.

    Stay away from laptops.

    Get one of the latest Nvidia generation cards, plenty of RAM for the 3D modeling you will / might do and you are pretty much good to go.

    i5-4670K /8gb ram 1600mhz ,gtx980, psu min 800W and you are good to go. if i were to spend more i would get fast SDD memory for system and aplications. If i were more interested in pure content creation and video edition i would chose some high end i7 + got like 32 GB of ram

    Well of course it is different for everyone... but here is what I have and it works great. I am getting 75 FPS on the DK2 with 4.4 Runtime "Direct To Rift".

    GA-Z97X-Gaming G1
    EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked
    16GB RAM HyperX
    Intel Haswell 4.0ghz - i7-4790k
    850 Watt EVGA Gold Power Supply
    Water Cooled
    Dual Intel 500GB SSD - One for System/One for Apps
    Windows 8.1

    This particular EVGA Mobo will handle QUAD SLI if that gets resolved for VR... It is best to run in a single GPU configuration currently from all I have read.
