Ball and chain is gone. Phew! Now I have a spare room to get back into sim racing. I have to start from scratch. New computer, monitor.. Ect my main question I have is about wheels and pedals. I want kind of a high end wheel. I've looked at frex, but the pedals and wheels are $2,000 each. $4,000 is a little steep considering I'm buying everything new and at once. I have a G27 but I want better. What can I do with a $2,000 budget on both wheel and pedal set? I have been out of sim racing for a while because the woman thinks they are just "games" and hates the noise of an engine. You bet I'm getting a good set of speakers! I plan on building a racing cockpit. I haven't found any really good setups for sale, so I guess building one to my specs is the way to go. I see this is kind of a long post I'm writing so I'll just make statements on what I'm looking for.
Wheel&pedal. $1500-$2000
Shifter? Frex
Steering wheel- Rosa F1 wheel
Should I keep my g27 and just mod it?
I plan on having a triple screen setup, what are the best monitors for this?
Total I have about $5,000 I can spend on a sim setup from the ground up.
CPU - Intel core i7? or the new AMD 8 core?
GFX - Nvidia GTX or ATI (2 cards in SLI/crossfire)
I know I'm kind of off the path by asking about computer stuff but any advice is needed.
