Racing Simulator Thread

I've started building my PC and I think I should be fine performance wise. Intel I7 4790k and a gtx 970 card, and some other goodies like 512 ssd and 16 gigs of ram. Again, building a rig that can do everything, besides just gaming. Going for a single, really good monitor as opposed to 3 crappy ones, might upgrade in the future to a multi-monitor setup if I really like it. G27 racing wheel hasn't been ordered yet but it's the best choice by far. I'm highly considering getting a collapsible stand/mount thing but all of them seem pretty pricey for what they are, so I'm still cross shopping that. Picked up a 2tb external HD to back-up my current computer and move all of my files over, then wiping this laptop and either selling it or using it as a mobile workstation, upgrading it to windows 8.1. I'll wait for Windows 10, but 8 should be fine for the next few years.

Considering a small quick-boot drive as part of the build but I don't know yet...

Just FYI, there's a class action lawsuit out about the 970 because it isn't really a 4gb card like they advertised.

Also, windows 10 is free for windows 7/8 users.
