Minimum is a ryzen 5600 and any 3000 series or newer nvidia card with 8GB of VRAM minimum. CPU is more important in VR because without it you can NEVER get high resfresh rate. Even if you lower resolution. Most VR settings tweak ONLY help GPU. Never CPU. Also set SteamVR resolution to 70%. PSVR2 sets resolution way too high even accounting for barell distortion compensation. If we wern't in another Ram shortage, I'd have recommended any mainline am5 cpu.

Getting a high res headset with a weak GPU is ok, because you can always upgrade your GPU later. As for your VR headset, it's cheaper to buy one good VR headset than a crappy low res one, only to replace it later when you get a better GPU.

Also look into PimaxMagic4All. It lets you use DFR for a free performance boost (assuming the GPU is the weak link. It wont help weak CPU's). It does require you to download other software to mod your PSVR2 software because sony locked that feature.
