Thanks. Probably getting a bit off topic now, but would everyone build a custom PC or just order something built to spec? Once upon a time, I did build my own PCs, around the Pentium 2&3 era. I know these options are outside of my original budget of $300-$400 upgrades. But, now I'm thinking I might save my money up for a few months and get myself something completely new. Sheesh, I knew this might happen...
Yeah - I always build the systems by my self. I think thats the best way to be sure that only those components are incl. that you really want. But in your case @mtbiker70 maybe look around if you found a pre build PC that might fit to your requierments. I guess you will need everything new, so that might be cheaper. Some Stores offer Upgrade-Bundles --> maybe that could be an option, too. On ebay you can found those bundles too and sometimes the Username or a Mailaddress in the Discription indicates a Storename where you can find a better deal.
great story man.for me this is an easy choice. the best realism change I ever made was to get... a cockpit style driving chair with pedal and wheel mount. being in the low position of a real car, with rock solid wheel and pedals, made a huge difference for me, and I was able to then build a really cool rig around it with surround sound and all that. mine ran about $200 I think. 2nd choice would be clutch and hshift if your wheel does not have it.
