With my system should I even bother trying to develop on it?

I have an older system that I built which has
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 1366 130W
& 24GB (6 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory

When comparing my old i7 to the i5 I can see a big difference between the outcome of the atwdlzbhed2v.png
Is anyone using any similar or lesser configuration to try and develop on for this VR stuff?
Should I bother trying on the setup I have?
I would need a new video card as I only have the 
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ DirectX 10 512-P3-N871-AR 512MB 256-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video.

Input greatly appreciated from all.

The CPU is below the requirements but the GPU is absolutely ancient. At first I read it as a GTX 980, and I was going to tell you it was fine. But it's a 9800 GTX, an antique. 

To be honest, I would recommend getting an Oculus recommended spec machine. You will need it anyway if you want to release a game as you'll have to test on a machine that's closer to what users are running.
