Will an AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHz 8 core processor and a Nvidia GTX 1060 work well for VR?
I have been looking for a gaming computer that will run an HTC Vive, but I am not sure if about the specs of th computer I have found will work for VR. Here are the specs:
✔ AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor | 120GB SSD | 1 TB 7200RPM Hard Drive | AMD 760G Chipset
✔ Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 Video Card | 8GB DDR3 Gaming Memory | Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

Thanks for the Help!
Note: I do not have the computer yet

I think so, but even after doing the SteamVR Performance Test you can double check using Nvidia GeForce Experience. That will check if your system is VR ready too.

Okay thanks!

I only just saw your edit, but the CPU and GPU certainly meet the requirements so it's probably OK.

Ok, I've been looking for a video with the same gpu and cpu, but I could not find one. So I started to get worried because all I could find was Nvidia with Intel and I didn't know if the Amd fx 8350 would work with the gtx 1060

Ok, my PC is rather old, but it uses an AMD CPU and an nVidia videocard. Never had any issues with that combination.

I'm not sure why you think there would be a incompatibility between the AMX FX8350 and the GTX 1060. Lots of people use AMD CPUs with Nvidia graphics cards. My last gaming rig had an AMD FX 8320 and an Nvidia GTX 760.

Anyway, both the AMD FX8350 and GTX 1060 are VR ready (for both the Occulus Rift and HTC Vive). You'll be fine. ;)

Okay thanks! I am fairly new with computer specs and I only know the basics lol
