This should also put focus more on quality controls which should have good resale if I bail on it.
Was thinking of basing it on a PS4/5 for now as that cuts $1800 of PC cost and I don't already own one. Just a PS4.
Cockpit would be Next Level F-gt ($500) plus a $150 monitor stand. A Fanatec setup based on CSL V2.5 with shifter, inverted pedals and BMW GT wheel. That would be about $1700 in controls. Finally, a good monitor for about $250.
So all in on this should be about $3300. Does this make sense or anyone offer up suggestions? Obviously playing PS4 games won't be anything like PC based, so that is a concern too. |
That's the same seat and stand I'm going with, along with the CSL elite F1 set with loadcell brake. I'm using an RTX3080 PC to drive a samsung 49" curved monitor.
