I got a really good deal on Craigslist on a g27. The guy I bought it from was really nice, college student with no time to play with it anymore. Basically bought it off amazon never even tried it, when I got to his place he was literally taking the plastics off 180$ later and I am on my way to building my racing sim. I need to buy a gaming computer next, but I have read so many confusing things about it.

I need some gamers in oppo to point me as to what I need in specs on a gaming pc.

What do you want to play? iRacing can run on very low hardware if you want to start right away

If you’re doing a gaming computer, I’d avoid anything from a big box store...I’ve gone that route, you buy the thing, then add a video card, then you have to upgrade the power supply, now you need a new case...it’s a slipper slope. A company like ibuypower would be a smart thing to look at if you don’t want to build one yourself.

Also, great deal on the G27. Nice work.

Easy recipe...get current Gen i5 or i7, 16gb ram, a 512gb ssd, case, ps, and spend the rest of the budget on the gpu.

I was just about to upgrade my video card, but the price will be the same as an Xbox 1, so I’m going there.

Do an inverse pedal mount! Also, I’m doing an extended handbrake mod using a chilicoke tutorial and by taking the hand brake from an E30 BMW.

Holy shit that's cool, but I would have to put it all together right, can you point me to a ready out of the box situation.

600-700 will get you a lot, depending on what you want to focus on. I see you’re looking for something out the box - don’t. You’ll have to sacrifice a LOT. If you need assistance, I’d be more than happy to do a video call style walk through. I’ve “built” few machines remotely that way for two friends who didn’t have any experience with it. It’s cake.

Well ok Ill be on the look out for an out of the box one, but you really should consider building your own because out of box pcs can’t get you the same price to performance ratio

It doesn’t have to be advanced, but it does have to work. This is what I’ve got. The handbrake is still in progress.

Rolling your own is pretty fun though. I’m sure you know someone who could be a resource if you run into issues. If building your desktop isn’t in your bucket list, it should be.

Thanks! I thought it was pretty ghetto rigged, but I’ve had no issues with it. Well, except for it sometimes sliding ever so slightly forward, but the screws pointing towards the carpet kind of help keep it there.

You can get a low-end desktop pre-built, then upgrade the graphics when you get the itch OR you can build from scratch and burn the house down from the get go. GTX 750 looks like the GPU that’s in your price range.

Not at all that cpu is OK but the fx6300 is better but that gpu is the lowest of the low end. Not worth the price maybe you should find someone who will build it for you to your specs and budget but I can't seem to find one.

There are lots of guides on YouTube that can help you. I’m honestly quite inexperienced I only have built one pc ever, but you know what it was a lot easier than I ever expected it to be. It’s kind of like Legos. Also I got major bragging rights most people don’t expect that you can build a computer because they think it is the hardest thing ever. Just diy it because I can’t seem to find any site that would build to your exact specs. I wish you the best of luck, side note: the computer case I chose is reliable but you can find another for a much cheaper price. Also try to get all your pc parts from one place amazon works for me. :)
