Posted by Big-Mathematician773@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 18 comments
I have no knowledge on PCs and don't really want to break the bank. I'm just looking for an affordable setup. I'm looking to play racing games like Asseto Corsa and FH6 with a steering wheel. Should I just buy a pre-built setup?

as cheap as I can make it rn with out going against personal principles and putting a 3050 in here
Big-Mathematician773@reddit (OP)
oh shit, thank you so much I really appreciate it. gonna do lots of research before anything.
Consistent_Tip5142@reddit
yeah no worries this will work great its a 1080p rig so you just need a 1080p monitor and some periferals
Big-Mathematician773@reddit (OP)
lets say i wanted 1440 or 4k, would that affect the whole setup configuration?

Does this give it problems? Compatibility Notes A Note: A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required. B Note: A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required. C Note: The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the MSI PRO H610M-G DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. D Disclaimer: Some physical constraints are not checked, such as RAM clearance with CPU Coolers.

thats just some old errors the cooler should come with the mounting brackets the usb things are just saying you need an adapter if you want.to use the front io ports on the case nothing too serious
DNS-Flow@reddit
Thanks for the info bro dont know much about it so yeah

1440 p can be duable its just abt 100 more dollars

Do you wanna go through the headache of building it yourself to save up around... $300? If the answer is yes, state your budget, country/currency, resolution that you wanna play at (1080p, 1440p or 4k?) and if you already got some peripherals like monitor etc
Big-Mathematician773@reddit (OP)
If it's YouTube friendly and not too difficult I def would not mind saving. I'm looking to spend preferably less than $1k but if it's worth the money, I'd spend $1k. I just need guidance
Correx96@reddit
Yes there's lots of youtube tutorials! I've seen other redditors in comments commented with some build. They are fine for your budget!

Learn how to fix eletronics and repair everything you can, build a full machine worth 1k for 200 euro. Thats as budget as you can get
kokosgt@reddit
Any reason you won't answer the incredibly important resolution question?
talley-ho-lads@reddit
for people with experience i would recommend building because you save a little money, but if you have no idea how to build the pc, i'd recommend a prebuilt. try starforge systems. stay away from ibuypower and cyberpowerpc. get on https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri and search the games you will be playing, and look at the recommended builds for optimal performance. go from there!
Big-Mathematician773@reddit (OP)
Thank you, will def look into it. I have absolutely no experience but I have a bunch of friends with PCs.

If you really don't know anything about PCs, buying pre-build is definitely more hassle free.
What's your budget? That is very important, so people can recommend you something.
Big-Mathematician773@reddit (OP)
Thank you, preferably under $1k but if it's worth it I wouldn't mind spending $1k.
