03/12/2023, 11:59 AMHey everyone, I haven't built a PC in years so I don't know what parts are good anymore. Need to build a budget PC that will run Assetto Corsa on ultra settings with a racing wheel. These are the recommended specs, but I think we probably want to go a bit higher than that. Can someone pls advise what kind of CPU and GPU to go for? Ty!
RECOMMENDED SPECS
OS: Windows 7 Sp1 – 8 – 8.1 – 10
Processor: AMD Six-Core CPU, Intel Quad-Core CPU
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX 11 (AMD Radeon 290x, Nvidia GeForce GTX 970)
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 30 GB available space
Sound Card: Integrated

03/12/2023, 9:29 PMAssetto Corsa isn't super demanding on hardware if you don't mod it to heaven and back

03/13/2023, 2:14 PMwhat's missing from that selection is a case....
either that, or I'm blind
I recommend Corsair's Airflow cases.
simple and efficient

03/13/2023, 2:20 PMFor a cheap and good CPU I recommend 13th gen i5-13600KF - $294
gentle-london-6993
03/13/2023, 2:20 PMA 1050ti or simillar would be enough too
gentle-london-6993
03/13/2023, 2:20 PMAt least 16gb of ddr4 ram is required for these days

gray-grass-64213
03/13/2023, 2:22 PMI would take my display setup into account when choosing a GPU.
If you're going for 1080p or 1440p, a 3060 should last for a few years.

gentle-london-6993
03/13/2023, 2:23 PMFor asetto corsa, i don't think you need a RTX 3060
g
gray-grass-64213
03/13/2023, 2:24 PMno, but you may enjoy other games too, who knows...

numerous-student-45887
03/14/2023, 11:23 AMbut god damn, why everything so expensive
g
gray-grass-64213
03/14/2023, 11:24 AMdon't have enough experience with the power consumption of those components, so I don't really know what to recommend.
My PC is eating a lot, so I've upgraded mine from a 650W to a 1200W. Planning to do a full core upgrade later this year

numerous-student-45887
03/14/2023, 11:24 AMactually I think that gpu prices have come down heaps
g
gray-grass-64213
03/14/2023, 11:24 AMyeah, GPUs are more accessible now, even though they're still expensive

numerous-student-45887
03/14/2023, 11:24 AMI think my 1070 was $600 when I got it years ago
numerous-student-45887
03/14/2023, 11:26 AMyeah wow $615 and that 3060 is meant to be heaps better
numerous-student-45887
03/14/2023, 11:27 AMI'd upgrade if there was anything worth it
g
gray-grass-64213
03/14/2023, 11:27 AMI don't plan to move to console anytime soon, and I built this thing in 2017.

03/14/2023, 11:29 AMit's still a very good PC, but it does have some issues, specifically to the motherboard.
I'll keep it as a multimedia unit after I do the upgrade.

03/14/2023, 4:05 PM32 gigs will be part of the norm by 2025 and beyond. Expensive upgrade, but future-proof. Don't let anyone fool you.

brash-airline-87386
03/14/2023, 4:35 PMwhy a 1050ti
g
gentle-london-6993
03/14/2023, 4:35 PMBecause it's a cheap and good graphic card
b
brash-airline-87386
03/14/2023, 4:36 PMit sucks as hell i have a 1060 6gb and it sucks it's way too old
g
gentle-london-6993
03/14/2023, 4:36 PMIt depends on the model, there is a 2gb 1050 and a 4gb 1050ti
b
brash-airline-87386
03/14/2023, 4:36 PMit's a low tier gpu nowdays
g
gentle-london-6993
03/14/2023, 4:36 PMThe 4gb 1050ti is the best between this two

03/14/2023, 4:37 PMbrash-airline-87386
03/14/2023, 4:37 PMthat's way better than a 1050 and it's cheap
g
gentle-london-6993
