Oculus has today announced a partnership with Asus, Dell and Alienware to produce ‘Oculus Ready’ PCs, pricing at under $1000.

At today’s keynote event at this year’s Oculus Connect , VP of product Nate Mitchell announced that the company would be partnering with PC manufacturers to bring ‘Oculus Ready” PCs to the hands of consumers.

The basic specs listed for the new Oculus Rift require at very least a GTX 970 or AMD equivalent to run.
