Here's my Sim racing rig I built to practice for the Mid-Ohio race in 10/2018. My end goal is to have a decent DIY motion simulator. I just built the PC and got the VR goggles. I had everything else already.
PC I built is bare bones just for gaming and video/photo editing and CAD:
- EVGA Z370 FTW motherboard
- Intel core i7 8700k processor
- 16 GB DDR4 3200 RAM
- Samsung 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD (Windows 10 opens in less than 5 seconds from when I power on)
- Gigabyte GeForce 1080 GTX graphics card
- EVGA 850W power supply
- Cryorig H7 tower cooler
- Thermaltake Mid-tower case. Basic as they come.
- Windows 10 ($2.99 from eBay for a license and it actually worked)
Then an Oculus Rift for the VR goggles.
Pedals are Fanatec Clubsport V2 pedals with load cell brake pedal.
Steering wheel is basic Logitech Driving Force GT.
Shifter is a Thrustmaster TR500(?).
The rig is an Obutto Ozone.
