I should be good for a few more years. GTX1060 is plenty to run my Oculus Rift

No I don't go top tier either, usually one level down, that seems to be where the best bang for the buck is. My 8 year old system with a 2 year old video card runs most games fine in 1080, 1 monitor, although I have found I've had to start cutting back some details. I'm about due for a refresh but it will probably have to wait until the end of the year.
Even that PC passes the benchmark tests for the Vive, so in theory I could do VR with it.

Absolutely on point, I was going to say the same myself. Now with so few games aimed specifically at the PC market, they are all designed for console limitations first, then moved to PC.
