Very very impressive , I nearly bought a high end PC before Xmas but due to lack of components available I didnt ... bit of a blessing in disguise really, after watching this I could spent 25% of what I was going to and get the same result ... great vid 👌🏽
I always come back to this vid especially with all of the prices going up on pc parts. Of course, right when I was getting into sim racing lmao. Well I'm thinking on waiting for prices to go down to get good deals on people selling 1660 or 2060 to build a good 1440p above 60 fps build 😁
Came across your channel last night and love your style. Proper down to earth bloke. Been going through your videos as looking to getting into sim racing and was thinking I was going to have to spend £500 for what I thought would be a decent pc. This video has changed the game. Might beef a few components slightly, but good to know it can be done to this budget! Subbed!
Excellent mate, really happy it helps you! :)
Great vid! It's good to know you can start with sim racing on such a low budget 👌🏻
Always bargains around if you take your time and keep your eyes open :)
Epic! I've been trying to convince a mate of mine to come to the dark side so I can PC sim race with him online but he's not been up for it so far and is still on PS4. Think I'll just build one exactly like this and give it to him so we can twat about online during this coronavirus bullshit!
lol What a plan mate yes! :)
Any updates?
Recycling at its best. I’ve got an old pc build in the loft, you’ve given me the great idea to upgrade it and put it to use. Nice one
Go for it mate! 🙂
Question. Can you put an ssd on any motherboard? Not sure ssds where a thing when I put that build together.
Very interesting... I take my car to Bedford Autodrome GT twice, sometimes three times a year and it costs me £120 for the day. Obviously, fuel, tyres and repairs etc. don't factor into this and my track car/banger is also my daily driver but I've always been curious about serious SIM racing, asking myself, "should I stop stressing the hell out of my car and go virtual?" lol. I would never give it up, but I love seeing full SIM racing setups, it's very cool.
The skies the limit with sim racing and it's a lot of fun but you don't have to start big to try it out, add another £140 to this PC build for a second hand Logitech G920 and a Playseat Challenge and you're good to go!
@@KarlGosling Well, I have a decent gaming PC with a CV1 Rift... I have spare bucket seats from my car, I just need the wheel and pedals! I may consider this serious if my car costs me any more than it already does, lol
@@Nemoticon You're basically already there then mate! ;) lol
@@KarlGosling I only have so much time and pennies for my personal pleasures 😂 always a tricky balance againt RL. Keep up the good work buddy
@@Nemoticon lol I know that feeling! Thanks mate 😀
Great job on your part Karl. To keep things as straightforward as possible, I would recommend picking up an old business desktop (Dell Optiplex) and sticking in the best gpu you can get that doesn't need auxiliary power... with an old Dell Precision (desktop or laptop) these typically come with decent workstation Quadro graphics cards and run very well for the money.
Another good idea there mate! :)
Should i try this? is it really work?
Really happy i found this video since i was searching for a cheap pc for assetto corsa, rfactor, iracing, and etc. Thank you so much for making this video!
No problem! I have no idea what prices and availability are like now though?!
@@KarlGosling in indonesia, availabilities are stocked up. Prices also tanked for the phenom 2 x4 which dropped to only 400k in indonesia which is fairly surprising
@@KarlGosling The whole pc build was only around 6,3 million IDR which is around 342 pounds which was worth it tbh
Great vid Karl, I'm about to build a cheap but decent performance PC for my buddy. I'm actually a bit gutted that I spent so much on my own rig. It's definitely the way to get a bargain.
Staying at least a generation behind saves so much money.
Quality vid mate. Impressed with the performance tbh. Unreal.
Even I was impressed, the CPU and DDR3 still hold up really well!
Those amd phenom processors are great, especially in winter. Just be careful the police helicopter doesn’t think you’re doing something else 💨 🪴. Mind you, it’ll help you pay for a wheel/pedal set.
Think you would struggle to compare this to consoles these days, many games are now native 4k at 60fps, with some even having 120Hz VRR, console gaming as never looked so good, i keep wanting to build a gaming rig to go with my sim rig, but my series x plays driving games so great
Tech moves on so fast!
Excellent video 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes mate this channel is helping me out. Logitech / xbox owner blah blah, being evicted from the lounge but to a spare bedroom. so I'm thinking budget pc build on a rig in there.
"Been evicted" lol Glad I can help mate, too many video's for people with deep pockets and not always enough for us normal people at the lower end.
Karl your a genius haha I'm not computer savvy at all so I'm curious how would I get this exact setup
Really useful and informative video. Thanks Karl. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
I've just found this video I'm chuffed to bit cos I've just been talking to my local pc build shop and after the first question she put me on automated call once I said I only had 500 fo a pc for soley sim racing oh then that posted me a Christmas add for a pc that cos 800
Great job man. Subcribed!
Awesome, thank you!
The one person who disliked has 137 pounds and
There's always one! lol
Great useful vid as always Karl! Built my wind sim but think I stuffed up soldering the header pins onto stepper board and won't run. Only getting 6v at the fan terminals. New one coming with pins preinstalled. Cheers!
lol Easy to make little mistakes mate, but i think it's all part of the fun! :)
Yip. Have you got a discord forum or anywhere else that u r ok being contacted thru just to ask a few questions?
@@stepheneccles9412 I do have a Discord channel but TBH I'm super busy and don't know how much time I'd have to talk to people (which is why I've not linked it yet).
I have two jobs, a girlfriend and a busy life lol Trying to fit in building a new RUclips channel is taking up most of my spare time too.
But what can I help you with mate, feel free to ask away here?
No probs mate. Its just great to have a source of info that " lives in the real world" . Im all good. Of i really need something Ill shout mate! Keep up the good work!
Hey mate, stumbled into this video, do you think you could do an updated version for 2022?
I'll see what I can do mate.
Great video! Looking at getting into sim racing on a budget and wondered if this setup would comfortably run rFactor2 and iRacing?
Yes it will
Great vid but just to say you could have got a new ssd with warranty for cheaper
Do you have a link mate? I need another!
@@KarlGosling i use this its not in stock but its good www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KR2CX1F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'll take a peek thanks mate.
Hi karl,came across your channel last night.your a genuine down to earth guy.I've just got into sin racing and just built a SIM rig which was shit.
I'm looking to do a pc as well.do you have a list of what you bought.
Thanks
Hi mate, I list everything in the video mate if you just make a note as you watch through.
Can u give us a tower around your setup and pc for sim racing thanks
Not a sim racer, but would you do a vid on NFS heat? As the default setup when using a G29 makes the cars handle like a barge!
I'll certainly take a look at it for you mate yes.
Thanks for the video!
I was just wondering what the dimensions for the case and the power supply are (in mm), because I'm buying similar parts
385x230x285 Using a standard ATX PSU mate.
@@KarlGosling Thanks very much!
I'm surprised Assetto Corsa works on that pc. My Intel Core i7 990X LGA1366, X58 motherboard, 24gb ram and Radeon RX580 8gb gpu, Assetto Corsa and Project Cars 2 wouldn't launch. I am investing in a new pc for simulation racing.
Probably more of a Windows install problem than hardware I'd guess mate.
@@KarlGosling Yeah, it was originally a Windows8.1 upgraded to Windows10, I have the games on a hdd, gone through few different gpus and several drivers and windows updates. It's 6 years later now, I've gone for a whole new pc with Ryzen3700, X570 motherboard, Radeon5700XT gpu and all SSDs; PCIe 4.0 everywhere lol. 😎
Hi Karl. I got a Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 (4 core 3.1GHz (no HT alas). Do you think that one can manage?
I have zero experience with that CPU so I have no idea sorry mate.
no problem Karl thanks for your feedback
Hey Karl! Hope all is well. I was wondering if I could find most of this equipment on the USA. I figured pricing might vary?
I imagine so on both counts, but I have no direct experience to share.
Hi can across your channel this morning was wondering what case you brought?
It's ancient mate, I have no idea what it is sorry.
@@KarlGosling that's ok no a problem
Where did you store your games hard drive?
This is a great inspiring vid. Want to upgrade to a pc and run vr do you think your setup is powerful enough?
Sadly no, definitely not! lol
I’m looking to get a awd seven amd ryzen 3200g 4.0ghz quad core for sim racing, is good enough to race dirt rally and assets cords?
Great video! Any pointers on how to get the windows license? Most of the ones I can see on Amazon are £50+
I always go Amazon an usually only £10.
@@KarlGosling thanks Karl I'll keep my eyes peeled!

I'm really sorry but I'm not familiar with the old Intel stuff from back, if it was AMD then I could help.
No worries mate. That board did actually blow up the other week, i was happy to replace it with the same one, but after seeing this video i might be better off with something else. Any recommendations for a solid board that supports 16GB Ram and a decent AMD processor. Thanks for the reply mate

@@KarlGosling Cheers mate you have just saved me an absolute fortune! Glad i came across this video
Never really been into PCs but i've been looking into them as i want to play iRacing, would this set up manage that?
It sure would, iRacing is not very demanding at all.
@@KarlGosling maybe dumb question but will this need hardwire to the Ethernet or is it wifi?
You could do either, a WiFi card or USB dongle is about £10 if you don't have one.
Do u have a list of parts im building iracing budget pc
I detail them in the video mate.
NEVER cheap out on a power supply it ends badly. Told from experience
Whilst you are 100% correct... the whole PC is cheaped out so balls deep or not at all mate! :) lol
@@KarlGosling yeah but it will probably explode and can fry your pc parts
do you think i could play rfactor2 on this pc?
oh sry i saw you already answered this question
Can this work for iracing too?
Yes of course mate.
Can I just buy this one off you😂
