I spend most of my time hiking and taking photos. Both of which I won't be doing for a while.

I'd like to have a go at iRacing and need a PC as I'm fully Mac and have nothing suitable.

Does this look ok for a starter gaming machine for racing games? Possibly with a Logitech G29.


Thanks

Bin off the i5 and get a Ryzen 3600, a B450 Mobo and some faster RAM. Drive is ok, card is ok. Case is crap and I'd get a beefier PSU that's fully modular.

And get a Win10 key off Ebay and save some money there too.

I have no monitor. I've not had a PC in 10 years. I only have an iMac and MBP!

I switched the PSU for a more powerful one. Case I'm not too worried about as it'll be hidden out of the way.
