I want to buy Oculus Rift and a compatible graphics card for it at my current configuration:

i5 4440 3.1 GHz

8 GB DDR3 665 MHz

Gigabyte B85M-D3H-A (Intel Graphics 4600)

Primary Drive: 111 GB KINGSTON SUV100S37A120G SSD

Please suggest a suitable graphics card for the games that my current configuration can easily play with Oculus without overclocking etc. I know i5 4440 3.1 GHz is a bit under powered for high end gaming with Oculus Rift. So, I do not want to play high end games with Oculus and want a decent graphics card that is neither too high nor too low for my current configuration.

The 1060 and RX 480 are bare minimum specs for VR. You don't want to run VR on those if you have to, unless you enjoy ultra low quality settings.

Honestly any variant of the GTX 1070 besides the Founders Edition models are good. The top ones I perfer are the EVGA SC/FTW 1070s, Asus Strix, Gigabyte Windforce/G1 gaming, and Zotac variants. MSI is also a great option.

Ok. I was thinking of GTX 1060. I will check GTX 1070 now. Can you suggest 3 GB or 6 GB? And any suitable variant/model/brand of GTX 1070?
