Newbie question about VR & graphics cards

Hi completely new not a gamer myself but my wife is she was playing the game AION for the longest but soured on it so for her birthday I want to get her the Oculus Rift. I went to the site and ran their scan turns out our ASUS M32CD tower is compatible to play the game except the graphics card needs upgraded.
My question is does anyone have suggestions on a graphics card I could purchase that will handle the Oculus game and is compatible with my ASUS tower without breaking the bank.? I'm sure there are tons but like I said its all greek to me I just want to give my wife a nice birthday present and I look forward to the VR experience as well. I also have a question most people say its simply a plug and play as far as replacing video cards and difficulty.

Swapping out a graphics card is pretty straightforward. If you already have a GTX 970 in you M32CD, then give that a try first since graphics cards are quite expensive at this time due to mining.

If you need more power, aim for at least a GTX 1060 or RX 580.
