As soon as possible I will try to go up to a 1060 6GB or 1070 GPU hoping to fix the stutter.
Right now I cannot understand why Oculus system requirements recommend a 1060. In my opinion, it is the absolute minimum to enjoy games with low GPU usage like: "I expect you to die". Everything slightly GPU heavy will just be a disappointment. Especially where I can play Elite Dangerous on "High" settings in 2D.

I would be thinking of upgrading the video card only, but it seems that I also get CPU bottlenecks from my core i5-3570k https://i.imgur.com/lWZC2zA.jpg in Bullet Sorrow at least.

This is exactly it.
My friend that introduced me to VR has a 1060 with his rig... and he complains a lot about performance.
Whenever people ask me about the Rift and what they need I tell them that I don't care what the system requirements say... I recommend at a bare minimum a 1070 for a good experience. Anything less you are just setting yourself up for disappointment.
I wanted the best experience possible and built my rig accordingly.

the reason why I currently prefer a GPU upgrade over a CPU is simply that I get rid of my current GPU 1060 with 3GB RAM at a relatively good price. My CPU (i5 2500K) is simply so outdated that it doesn't make any sense to just upgrade a socket. Most of the time a motherboard has to be bought additionally.
The only thing that annoys me is the dreamy specifications that the software manufacturers and Oculus themselves are broadcasting. With a 1060 (3GB) there are hardly any games that can be played error-free on medium or high detail levels. You don't get happy even on low.
At the moment I own 9 games of which only 2 are running perfectly. "I expect you to die and Lucky Tales.
All blockbuster titles (especially those that were last in the Free Week offer) were inedible.

Oculus goes with
minimum:
NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti/AMD Radeon RX 470
and with recommended:
NVIDIA GTX 1060/AMD Radeon RX 480
and here i'm sitting with my headset on, playing robo recall with pixels like monkeyisland from the year 1995 on 0.7 SSA and low settings just to have smooth 90 fps.
