This recommend cpu for elite is a 3rd generation i7 or an amd quad core. This i3 blows the doors off the amd. I am getting a 1080 at micro center tomorrow for 7 bills. In about 2 weeks after I'll get an i7 8700k from there. Crucial needs to put my rsm in stock or I'm getting something else. My mobo is itx and has 2 rails for ram. That leaves me to ask if i should just go for 32 gigs or would that be overkill as 16 should be more than enough for vr?
Hardware & Technical Frame drops and jitter/ poor performance in VR

- Start date
16 is more than enough for any gaming needs, and will be for quite some time.
8 too ? I think

CPUs stay relevant for longer. Fact. Getting a good CPU is a decent future investment. Unless you've bought 7700k, and Intel have released 8700k shortly afterThey didn't have the best business practices last year to be honest...
I hate the fact that I've bought a 7700k.
I keep telling myself, that it will be great for overclocking, whenever it will be necessary.I have a GTX 960 4gb and just managed to grab an 1060 6gb FE at the nVidia store as an interim upgrade, I'm planning to do a proper upgrade next year. So is it worth to give VR a shot with an i7 7700k with decent cooling, 16gb DDR4 3000 mhz RAM and an 1060 6gb?

7700k is still a very capable CPU. And it handles overclocking very nicely. I'm sure people do VR with less powerful CPUs with decent results.
