Occulus Rift is lowering it's minimum requirements!

[Badben]

Here's a link to an engadget article just released today saying that the Occulus Rift is lowering it's minimum requirements to an i3 6100 and a gtx 960! This is incredible news as I thought I was going to have to buy a new CPU before I got a Rift, but I think with these new specs, my old i5 2500k still has some life left in her yet. Especially if I overclock it. (Just want to add that the i5 2500k might be the best hardware purchase I've ever made)

FYI I had a 2500k, it was fine with the DK2. Never tried it with the CV1 but should be mostly ok. I actually upgraded to the 3750K as it was the best one that would fit in the 1155 slot. Managed to get it for about £80 brand new
