I'm thinking of building a sim racing rig next year.

I know @Brun has a nice setup.

Was originally going to just use it for PS / Xbox but quickly realised I don't want them out of my main living room and the rig will have to be squirrelled away in another room. Might as well build a PC.

Things I need to think about:
1. Wheel / pedal set - thinking the new Fanatec CSL DD
2. Rig - @Brun did you build your own aluminium frame? Any advice?
3. PC - if I'm doing iRacing, Asseto Corsa etc and running to a 4k OLED, what's the min spec I can get away with? 3070?

Yep. It's all here... https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/new-80-20-rig-design.164984/

Benefit of mine over the off-the-shelf options are that it collapses pretty small. Other than that something from sim-lab or similar would be a good starting point. Any aluminium profile rig should be easily customisable/extendable.

The new Fanatec stuff seems pretty highly regarded, don't think you can go wrong there.

A 3070 might be up against it at 4k/60. Original Assetto Corsa should be fine (it is seven years old) but more recent or future titles could struggle.

Thanks - remember that looking smart at the time but looking at it again, it's ace. Really great build. Any idea of the rough cost, inc seat?

Will re-think monitor situation. I have a currently unused CRG9 sitting around so could just re-purpose that. 5120 x 1440 120hz possible or still needing a 3080 / 90?
