Well finally deciding i need to do something with the spare room in our house.

I want to build a cheapish driving sim.

I have a good thrustmaster wheel,gearknob and pedal kit I just need to build or buy a half decent PC to run it through.

I have a LCD screen but thinking of going for a 3 screen set up.

I have a home PC i use but i think i will just build something.

Any ideas on what i would need to run a goo sim/racing games. Thats the only games it will be used for.

Thanks in advance.

You'd need to decide which or what racing sim(s) you want to aim for, though I don't know that any of them are vastly taxing and a budget. You could probably spend anywhere between 500 to a grand.

Can recommend Assetto Corsa for a good driving sim. About £25 on steam I think.
I've steered away from triple screen because I'm quite keen on the occulus rift system, seems to get great reviews from an immersion point of view.
I'm going to wait until the retail model is out next year but the dev kit 2 is meant to be pretty impressive.
