Virtual reality in an idea of Oculus Rift is near to us, even if the price of 700 euros for the device itself seems more distant. Proof of this is the presentation of the promised “Oculus Ready” line of computers that will be differently assembled by the manufacturers along with a “certificate” that are VR ready.

First VR computers are introduced by Asus, Dell and Alienware, and are intended to comply with a minimum price of around 1500-1600 dollars for just a computer and Oculus Rift bundled with it. Which is quite a saving of some 100 to 200 US dollars versus buying a new computer with the same components, but separately from the Oculus Rift package.

However, it should be noted that this is only a temporary price for pre-sale that starts from the 16th of this month on Amazon, Best Buy and Microsoft Store; and of course – does not apply to every region.

As far as hardware concerns, price range is from $ 1,500 for the minimum requirements of what is needed for the Oculus Rift VR experience, and that is the Intel i5-6400 processor, 8 GB of RAM and Nvidia GeForce 970 and the hard drive of one terabyte. Of course, Asus and Alienware have in their offer stronger models, and they run the Intel i7-6700 (or 5820K) paired with a GeForce 980, 16 giga DDR4 memory and a combination of SSD and classical mechanical drive.

Can one add anything other than – learn son, dad will serve the time? However, if you hope one day to snatch only Oculus Rift, without this cosmic computer, the compatibility of those two, you can check using this
