Hello :)

I am a bit of a PC gaming Noob and am embarking on buying my first gaming PC. The driver to buy on is because I have started Sim Racing on the PS4 but want to upgrade the Sim racing experience onto the PC. I want to play Iracing with the specifications below:


I was looking to purchase a pre-built from 'CyberPower PC' and made the below configuration which comes in at £808. Would love to hear your thoughts on the set up. I do not want the PC to become obsolete quickly and would be looking to play other games on it too on steam.

Many thanks,
Ayden

This gets you a better case, SSD, cpu, board w/WiFi 6E, etc ... The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for an exhaust fan.
