Hi all,
After years of enjoyment with rFactor, Race 07 & GTR2 on my old, tired, computer, im looking to upgrade a to a new machine to let me play the new games, RF2, iRacing pCars etc..
Can anyone help with any suggestions please, I know nothing of computers?
I'm going to run x3 27" HD monitors (just bought the GTOmega Supreme rig) and want to run the race sims on max settings, with plenty of headroom to ensure it works well...
I'm shooting round to a few local pc shops asking for quotes at the moment, so i'll feed back any answers i get... any help would be really appreciated, i'm looking forward to getting started with the proper racing!
Thanks! Paul : )
