oculus-rift

I bought a VR ready Cyberpower pc but it only has one HDMI on the graphics board and my display is plugged into it. I'm trying to connect the Oculus Rift headset that also says it needs the same HDMI connection. Can anyone help?

Has anyone purchased the Rift during their summer sale? Have you received yours yet? I just ordered mine yesterday off the Oculus website and I want to know if I'll receive it anytime soon or if it's gonna take a few months.

HI! I see that oculus-rift spec says you need 3 usb 3.0 ports for their device. I only have 2 on my PC, can I add a USB 3.0 hub or expansion card to solve this problem? Or should the USB 3.0 ports be built into the mobo for better/faster performance? Thanks!
