Okay guys - final thread before I take the plunge and do it.
So after much discussion in 'please help me choose a gaming PC part 1' I've decided to go to a website, choose the parts, and get them to build the machine (and possibly overclock). I was considering doing the building myself but im a complete newbie and some horror stories regarding diagnosing problems after the build has put me off.
The question is now - how do I get the best out of my £1000 budget? I would love for everybody to put themselves in my shoes for a few moments and help me make my decision in what to buy. You have owned an xbox 360 for god knows how many years along with a fanatec wheel and pedals enjoying games such as grid autosport, forza and the F1 titles. You want to delve into the territory of sim racing with games such as iracing, asseto corsa, RFactor 2 etc etc. You don't have a huge budget but you want to have a great first pc racing experience so with this budget you want everything to run as smooth as it can (if this is possible) on the highest settings. You look at the following 5 builds. What one do you go for and why?
Thank you to everybody in advance (and please feel free to post your own suggestions if mine are that terrible which I'm sure they are)
