CPU Question for the Rift S

Mushroomies

Hello Everyone in the VR world,:) 
I ordered my First Oculus Headset about 5 days ago and I am camping out at my Mailbox waiting for it to arrive 😄 
I own a Vive but wanted to give the Oculus world a try.
Anyway, I was looking over the required Specs for the Rift S and it recommends a AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or greater.
I have a AMD Ryzen 7 1700X. I went to a online computer Parts Compare site called UserBenchmark.com and if what I saw is correct my Ryzen 7 should work.
Am I correct? I know more than most when it comes to computers but when it comes to CPU's I get a little lost.
Is my Ryzen 7 1700X going to work for me?
Any Feedback is most welcome

If it worked fine with Vive, it "should" be ok with Rift S.

That is what I have been thinking but these headsets are very different, for example The Vive I have uses two bases

You'll be fine with a Ryzen 7 1700X if the Ryzen 5 1500X is the minimum. The 1700X ties the 1500X (more or less) for each core, and you have twice as many cores (8 instead of 4). I have an Intel Core i7-2600k that's worse on pretty much every conceivable metric and it's still good.
