Overview

I put together this quick reference tool in an effort to streamline the PC buying process for new sim racers.

The goal is to find a PC that will get you up and running within your budget constraints.

Pre-built PC lookup

The below links will take you to filtered lists of pre-built PCs that are capable of running all of the popular sim racing games at their minimum and recommended requirements.

Low Budget Entry Level (Minimum Requirements)Mid Range (Recommended Requirements)
Under $1,000 Best BuyBest Buy

Under $1,000 AmazonAmazon

Note: Before making your PC purchase, you should ensure that you will satisfy the minimum requirements for whatever sim or game you intend to play.

If you’re looking to achieve maximum performance right out of the gate and have the budget, I recommend a custom built solution. Please contact me at [email protected] and I can help point you in the right direction.
