I thought my CPU would be fine but I just ran the "Oculus compatibility tool" and it says I7-3770k (which is clocked at 4.4) is not compatible and minimum spec is I5-4590???....maybe not?

I see they have a nice button on the app pointing us to buy a new computer too,......nah i`ll give my I7 a go...or maybe not...feel a bit cheated at the mo with the price and I`m wary of the oculus/facebook thing and the camera used for tracking...not sure if you seen the pictures some guy posted on here quite a while ago?....he managed to get a picture out of the tracking camera...so that makes me think what could facebook and teams of tech folk get out of the camera?.....I`m torn between yeah i want a Rift....not so sure i want it at this price and whats the privacy like...hmmmm

Is the 780 gtx going to be enough? I've been running a pair in SLI for awhile now but I know I'll be stuck using one card for oculus. I've read it can compare similarly to a 970 in terms of power and I feel like it doesn't make sense for me to buy something new right now when the pair I have in SLI is plenty powerful for everything else.

The tester is stupid, I would kind of ignore it, all it does is probably MSINFO then check against a list it has been compiled with, no smart checks in terms of actual power.
Mine passed all but GPU, I run 2x heavily overclocked 780's and it said I failed lol.
I currently run 5910x1080 on ultra on all games and I ran Alien Isolation on the sucky old SDK that is now over a year old on the DK2 fine.
I think a single 780 should be ok, but you won't be able to max things out.
My previous experience with VR means you will never get the quality of a decent monitor, the low res screen in the headset isnt up to it. So AA and lots of other stuff made no difference at all on the screen due to lower resolution.
There's no way in hell I will be swapping my 780SLI for one 970! Although it's now a couple of years old my rig will destory a single one of them.

You don't mean you're going to use the 2 cards SLI with the rift do you?
