You will see noticeable performance improvements on boot up and loading times. Having programs load from a SSD to memory is much faster than from a hard disk drive (HDD). At the moment, prices have come back down to reasonable levels. Note: Flash memory is manufactured by a handful of companies (Samsung, Micron, and Hynix) that were hit by a price fixing suit. If buying a prebuilt desktop or laptop, just look at the amount of RAM it comes with.įaster memory usually does not translate to noticeable real world performance improvements, so when considering where to spend your money, we suggest upgrading the GPU or CPU if you have enough RAM instead of the RAM speed. While memory is rated at different speeds, as long as it is the correct type (fits in your motherboard of choice if building your own desktop) and at least 8 GB (although we recommend 16 GB+), you will be fine. Usually $100 spent upgrading a CPU to a higher model is better spent upgrading the GPU to a higher model. The CPU is the next most important component, but as long as you meet the minimum requirements suggested by Oculus you should be good to go. Sometimes, a strong graphics card put into an older system will make it VR ready! You can visit the GPU naming section for help in knowing what to buy.

Most of what goes into rendering interactive virtual environments is done via the GPU, so a VR ready PC is usually a “gaming” branded system. The list below covers the importance of computer parts in chronological order whether you are planning to build your own computer or buy a pre-built system. For the power supply, ensure you have a high enough capacity for your system overall (see PSU). The important decision when purchasing a motherboard is to make sure it is compatible with your CPU choice (see Motherboards). For this guide, we won’t worry about motherboard specifics all you need to know is that there are expensive motherboards with nicer features than budget boards.

This is built into the graphics component and you do not need to purchase separate memory for the GPU.Īll of these components are brought together on the motherboard and housed in a case (of some sort) with a power supply. The separate GPU components (known as discrete graphics versus integrated graphics if on the CPU chip) also tend to have their own form of memory to communicate with. The GPU is more specialized than the CPU (thus better at specific jobs), usually handling more graphical related tasks. This is either integrated into the CPU or installed as a separate component. We prefer SSDs when given the choice.įinally there is the graphical processing unit, or GPU. Solid state drives (SSD) have no moving parts and are therefore faster, but more expensive in terms of capacity per dollar. Disk drives (HDD) are the best capacity per dollar and use spinning platters. RAM memory is lost when the computer loses power so data must be saved permanently on a drive, which can be found in a disk, solid state, or hybrid form. This is a general purpose “brain” which performs all the instructions given to it.ĬPUs communicate with data found in the memory, or RAM. At the heart is the central processing unit, or CPU.
