Looking at picking this up for iRacing, 1080p, single screen. Thoughts? 

Would be paying about $100 less than shown for new, but open box. Based on what I read over there, it could run triples but I would likely have to sacrifice some settings. (My current laptop barely manages 35fps with everything on minimum, and I quit playing because of it)

Shoudln't have a problem at all. My PC has an older i5 and gtx 960 and runs iRacing at pretty much max settings locked at the standard 84 fps with no sweat. The 1060 shouldn't be stressed at all.

Only thing about running triples if you eventually want to do that is make sure it has enough outputs, my 960 has a dvi, hdmi, and mini display port out, but I thought I read somewhere you can't actually use all 3 of them together to do triple screens.



I've actually been thinking about trying to either pick up a good wheel (mines a Driving Force GT that came with Gran Turismo 5), or trying to find a used gtx 1070 and hope the Oculus Rift has a black friday sale. Not sure which I'd prefer more because VR seems like it'd be a huge help in iRacing.
