Sim rig build

[J273]

Hi all,

Looking to build myself a sim rig. Not built a pc in a fair few years since I switched to Mac so no idea as to where to start.

I only need the base system so motherboard , CPU and cooler , ram and graphics card. I still have a case and SSD from a few years back which will do fine.

For now the pc will be used in my living room so needs to be quiet and it’ll be connected to a 65” 4K tv. I plan on going VR in the future so ideally want a decent GPU to power my current TV at its native res and VR in the future.

I have a budget of about £600. Is the above doable or will I need to up my budget to achieve what I’m after?

Thanks

What sims?

You’ve no chance at the moment for £600 though

Thought maybe I'd be a tad short at £600

Sims are project cars 2 / assetto corsa and race room

Great thanks.

Will the 1060 Setup easily drive my 4k tv with medium to high settings?

Thanks

Great thanks.

Nope. 1070/80 might get away with medium and run 20/30 FPS in recent triple AAA
Depends on the games you play, should be able to research and see how they run, but yeah, 1070 at a far stretch and miles better then 1060 at VR!

I can just about run AC in 4k/60FPS but not maxed out

Try and wait, no way I’d be buying a new card at the moment for a number of reasons
