With so many people now getting into iRacing, I've noticed a bunch of posts where people are asking for help when it comes to the PC they need for a good sim racing experience.
Having built many gaming PC's and needing an upgrade myself, I figured I'd put together a quick build guide to help people figure out just what it is they can really get for $1,000 and $2,000.
Also, if you'd like some personalized help with your system, just leave a comment down below or message me with your budget and needs,
Anyways, I hope this helps you out.
Enjoy!

I couldn't agree more on your layout here. A very good price point! I bought a Dell ... it's pretty good ---- BUT .... I have added a MVMe 1TB drive (on sale!),. It really had made a huge difference --- with only Win10 and Iracing --- startup was near the 2min mark .... after the switch to MVME .... 21sec. My graphics card is the RX580 4gig ... if I upgrade to just even the same card with 8gig, I have to upgrade the power supply. Go Figure, huh? .......... so, if buying new -- I do recommend this lower price point that Tom points out --- you will be way way ahead. Thanks Tom!
Your welcome. Thsnks for the comments.
@@TommyBrandon Your Welcome Definitely!!!
i am a year and a half late . but could you list the parts for a Iracing gaming computer for a 1000-1500. Because the parts listed in this video are 3 to 4 times the prices currently. Video card alone sells for 1400 now you had for 400.
Great vid, man. Thanks!
Thanks a lot man,really helpful
Your welcome
That was exactly the help i was looking for, in a big quandary right now on what kind of computer to put together to get into sim racing (and be able to use VR and also run a single 32 inch monitor at 1440p and 144hz (with super high frame rates to match the monitor hz). I am wanting to work with you to help me build my pc and i will pay you to build it. You were just what i was looking for...how do i contact you personally? I couldn't find any way to contact you on youtube, great video again!
Hey there, thanks for the video, very useful. I’m looking at building my own PC with a £1800 budget... but what about warranty? Cheers in advance.
yeah you don't really have a warranty when you build it yourself. there is a warranty on the parts, but if you install them incorrectly and something happens, then it voids the warranty
Great video. A few months back my wife picked up a LG TV - 55 inch CX 4K smart OLED TV (2020) states compatible with NVIDIA G sync. Off the top of your head do you think would make a decent monitor for sim racing? Thanks.
Thanks, found this video very helpful. I just bought the items for the "$1,000" build." What wifi adaptor would you recommend for this set-up?
Any wifi adapter should work. But i wouldn't game or sim race using WiFi. You always want to have your ethernet plugged in.
Appreciate it!!!
What if I have a low budget for a iracing PC because I don't know if I will spend enough time doing it to invest a lot of money to start out. Do you have a suggestion for a $400 PC? Maybe buy a used PC and upgrade it. Where would I buy the used computer and what parts would I need to buy to upgrade it to run iracing. Thanks for any help.
Let me look into it. I'll get back 2 u as soon as i can
This is incredible information. Thank you for creating this video. I'll be building in the next month or so. I assume this info still applies? I know things can move quickly in the pc parts world.
Yeah its still relevant.
@@TommyBrandon still?
I'm looking to vr sim race
Thanks! Would you change anything on the high end version 6 months later?
Id get a rtx 3080 if i could find one
What would the 2000 ish dollar amd version be with a Ryzen 9 3900 instead of the Intel? Is it that much better than the amd? Also the case front panel wires do they make an adapter to combine all those single wires into a 9 pin connector for easier installation?
Intel is better for straight gaming becausr it has the higher clock speeds but its way more money than an 8 core amd. As far as the adapter, im sure there is something that can combine some of thar stuff. They've pretty much got everything covered now when it comes to building pc's.
@@TommyBrandon thank you sir. I'm going to build a sim rig as soon as the game room addition is finished. The computer will also be used in games other than sim racing. I know it would be overkill for iracing, but the kids also like those games where you are some kind of soldier on a mission.
Oh also is that graphics card able to support VR?
Great video I just wish you had a link to the builds
Here you go. The prices have changed a little since the video, but I've added other lists as well.

@@TommyBrandon So the video card shown in the $1000 build doesn't appear to be available any longer? Could you make a suggestion for a substitute that's just as capable or better than the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card
@@TommyBrandon Sorry that was the midgrade build I was referring to.
@@billhudson2196 Yeah, any Radeon RX 5700xt will be a very good card. You can try to get a new rtx 3080 or 3070, but you'll have to get on a waiting list to do so. So, if you want to build now, go with the 5700xt
Hello. I have an old pc wanting to upgrade for sim racing got a intel i5 6500 and a asus h110m-r plus a gtx 1050 would like to upgrade for sim racing on 3 27inch 1080p monitors what would u consider I upgrade to.thanks for any help
the top tier build in this video
Hey man ..... I’m looking for my first pc to run assetto etc could you recommend a setup for around 600 that will last A while
this one will do the trick for $600 www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1504925-REG/cyberpowerpc_gma9000cpg_master_amd_ryzen_5.html
I have a question about memory on the basic iRacing build with the b450. I will run 5760x1080 on 3 monitors. I picked the ROG Strix B450 and is says it supports ddr4 3200. is going with gskill 3600 or 4000 a waste of money?
It can be if its super expensive.
@@TommyBrandon Would you recommend 3200 or 3600 for use with that board?
How important is memory timing?
3200 is fine. Thats what i run
@@TommyBrandon thanks
will the budget pc be able to handle long sessions such as endurance races?
it should be able to.
Can this build handle VR on assetto ?
Will a HP 8300 4K gaming computer run iracing? I can’t afford a top notch gaming pc
No it won't. I looked at the specs for that computer, it doesn't have the graphical power to handle iRacing.
Will the 2031.84 build also do VR well??
Oh yeah definitely.
In what world does he live? a RX 5700 XT is over 3000$ now... lol
man, my prices are so off! I guess everything went up...
Yeah a lot went up with all the shortages
@@TommyBrandon im not really into computers as much as I should but do you have an idea on when everything will go back to norm?
@@sticky40sx71 no. The supply is a real issue cuz of covid. So I dont. Sorry
You said I could message on your fb page and you could help, i cant find were to message you at
The Facebook page is: "thomas brandon gaming: school of sim racing."
@@TommyBrandon ok I found it were do I message you at
There should be a blue rectangle that says "send message."
what about a cooler for the first one?
The ryzen cpus come with stock coolers and they work good. Im running the stock cooler in my r5 3600 and i have it overclocked and it still works good
@@TommyBrandon oh ok i see..reallys new to this..thanks for the speedy reply....
@@markcorristine7961 yeah sure. No problem.
Hey man can you make me a list on pc partpicker for 1500 to 1750 dollars so it can run 1080p or 4k on rf2
here you go. Not sure if you need a monitor, but I put one in there. pcpartpicker.com/user/TandI35/saved/QVNK3C
