Best PC build for sim racing

[Leon1998]

Hello, I would like to have the ''best'' specifications for a driving simulator without a budget limit but let it not be ''overkill''
I'm going to play games like: assetto corsa competizione, dirt rally, Forza Horizon 5
I already have a peripheral equipment:
Monitor: LG 34GL750-B Wheel: Logitech G920 Pedals: Fanatec Clubsport V3

Your monitor doesnt have the most demanding resolution and you could feasibly drop down to a 3070 or 3070Ti and save a little. The only problem I see with that is the 8GB of VRAM those cards come with may become a problem in a few years, especially if you upgraded the monitor.

Its also perfectly possible to come up with something a fair amount cheaper as well that would do a great job, but you said no budget without being overkill

Welcome to the forum

Fyi Leon, it's good form to tell forums when you've posted the same question in multiple places. People can then check what you've already been told, and avoid wasting their volunteer time.
