I want to start making VR games with Unreal Engine 4 and Unity. Currently, I have an AMD A8 (don't have the specific version atm). I can't afford an i7 or equivalent right now, so I was looking at what the minimum CPU for VR on LGA 1150 is. Does anyone have a recommendation? I am looking to eventually upgrade to something like a 4790k.
Well i'm going to start by saying gpu matters way way more than cpu with high resolutions so with VR assuming your gpu is up to task, an I5 (for clock speed) or one of those 8 thread xeons (for cores) will do. What graphics card(s) are you planning on using?

I have a 290 which is Oculus's recommended minimum for CV1.
an I5 will do then.
I have an 8350 and I played Alien Isolation with VR. No problems at all. Besides motion sickness.. But that's unavoidable for me.
maybe a Xeon E3-1231-V3, is just slightly more expensive then an i5, but it has 4 cores 8 Threads, its basicly a locked i7 without igpu.
You can pair this cpu with a cheaper H97 board to save some money.
