Intel isn't needed.
Minimum I would go is a Ryzen 3600, and RTX 2080 or 5700XT. Minimum of 16GB of RAM, and with Ryzen, 3600MHz RAM.
I'm speaking from experience since I own the original Vive and a Vive Pro. My 2500k and Titan X struggled which is essentially a 3100 and 1070. The Valve Index is even higher res, it needs the GPU horsepower. Especially for titles like Alyx. Another thing to remember is newer VR titles use supersampling to reduce screen door effect and that takes even more power.
VR machine and cheap shouldn't be in the same sentence, especially if this is meant to power a system that costs over a grand being ran in a VR shop.
I beg to differ. If it was me i would go with the i7 and the 2080ti
You said " Intel isn't needed". Are you admitting that intel CPU's are superior? )
Always, unfortunately i cannot recommend AMD to anyone without losing a least a week of sleep, stick with the 6 core i5 and you can't go wrongSo you obviously prefer Intel...
Interesting. Do you know of any articles?I am pretty sure PP is talking performance for the dollar. Cost for identical cost you come out ahead with Ryzen now, and the extra cores/threads will be of benefit for the games.

Another problem i have with AMD is i have no idea what is what, everybody always talks about the 2490x and things like that but i have no idea if that is a good CPU or not whereas with intel it is more clear so if anyone knows of a article to explain it shoot me one of those
