Creating a Sim racing PC involves assembling various components.
Creating a Sim racing PC involves assembling various components.
OK so Ive not built a pc for 15yrs but if anything it looks easier now. So I want one to move from console to PC ,I only use PS5 for sim racing and PC will be the same thing.
Problem I have right now is I seen pre built in Costco for a tickle over 2k and I cant match the price to parts when I go to partpicker, I dont know if I can share links to either so I wont but if you guys had a 2k budget what would your PC look like. no monitors or peripherals just the PC. My only starting point is a 5080 and 9800x3d after that I'm lost.
Yes, you can share links. Begin by addressing the request with proper respect, as this adaptation comes from the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I developed it since many users are currently seeking upgrade guidance both on this platform and in CPU forums, and I believe... forums.
The $2k won’t secure a 5080 and a 9800x3d together, as the combined cost exceeds $1800. I’d consider a 9800x3d paired with a 9070xt. The 5070ti offers speed but isn’t a $100 improvement; average performance differences range from 4-7% based on resolution.

Alternatively, a 7800x3d could be a better option for savings.
They weren't even aware Costco existed in the UK. Haha
