This will be the first time I have built a pc so need all comments appreciated. Thanks in advance...
The system will be for sim racing only - rFactor is the only pc sim I have been using so far and I can't see any reason that would change. It seems like that would help with choices (?).
Budget is ~800€ including monitor. As I understand it, 24" & 60Hz should be fine for monitor (?) and prices (in France) start around 175€ so I think I need to get the pc build to ~625€. At present, I'm at the following spec - and over budget - but not sure where is best to cut back. List below is for suppliers in Germany; the prices vary a bit in France but overall seems quite similar. I have total 743€ using amazon.fr and ldlc.com for starters.
Can anyone suggest where to cut back? I'm sure it's overkill in some areas but seems like most info out there is oriented towards games that are more demanding on the system than racing sims are, right?
