Okay, this PC will be for my brother. He's currently interested in building something for the sole purpose of iRacing. He doesn't use a pc for anything else and doesn't believe he will ever. He is wanting the best bang for the buck for that use. The requirements are here ---> http://www.iracing.com/membership/system-requirements/
He's going to want to run high settings on that game. Any help is greatly appreciated, if you have any further questions ask away and I'll answer asap!


Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs): specifically used for iRacing only
Planned time until purchase: Within the next couple of months
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Anything, best bang for my buck
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Will be using a headset when racing so don't necessarily need speakers, will also be hard wired to the internet.
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock cooling
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: I will need monitor, mouse, and keyboard
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 92058

We would still like to see a budget so we know what quality of hardware and what monitor refresh rate/resolution to aim for.

This is also a no go. To much changes will happen within the next couple of months so the buy lists we will make will be outdated.

This. 2 months and you could end up spending $500 less or something.

And buying within the next 2 weeks.
