iRacing

Thought as I'm having to stay at home I might sign up again but, although new members can sign up at 50% off, there doesn't seem to be any offers for returnees. Anyone know anything different?
 
For a single 1080 screen that should just about be ok, but you'll be running mid to low settings.

Unlikely. They very rarely have offers on for returning users. I can't think of any in at least 3 years. The only time they really do any deals at all is for Black Friday, but they've got some on now to ride the popularity wave.
 
Something Intel 7th gen or later or AMD Zen2 based, at least 4 cores. GPU depends on the number of screens and res. At least a GeForce 1060 6Gb would be my suggestion. You'll get by on 8GB RAM, 16GB is preferable if you run trading paints, and other add-ons.
 
It'll work, but iRacing runs on only a couple of threads so IPC and clock speed is king, so Intel still rules.

If you give us a budget I'm sure we can come up with something.
 
@MrKnifey you'll want a high clocking CPU as iracing like speed not cores, it's not really CPU intensive. In my racing rig I've a 6950x (10c20t) @ 4.4ghz but when racing only 25% core gets used. A 7th gen or better would be best to get high clock speed.

The key for iracing is GPU grunt. Get as big a card you can afford. For reference I run a 1080ti to power my triple 1440p setup in above video, its almost maxed out graphically and get about 100fps.
 
Any recommendations for a good monitor to use in a single screen setup? I'm loving the VR but I'd also like a monitor I can use, finding the FOV of my 24" BenQ to be too small in comparison. Unfortunately, it needs to be a single screen as I can't fit triples into my available space.
