I will play LFS,Assetto Corsa and Project CARS 2.My monitor is full hd but it will not be a problem for me to play with 1600x900 resolution.Also I do not need more than 2-3 AI on the track.I prefer to buy pre-assembled PC.
So what do you think of these computers?

Quoting with my personal picks, given your budget. Should be able to do reasonably well with full HD and a few more than 2-3 AI.

Reasoning behind my picks?
  • Best graphics card presented was a 1050Ti. Personal preference is to buy a card with slightly more VRAM than I need and most mainstream games are creeping towards the point where 4GB of VRAM is needed.
  • Processor options were either an i3-7100 or an i5-7400. Went with the bigger numbers, both in processor core count and part number.
  • All of them offered 8GB of RAM. Bare minimum for a PC I'd buy.

Can't say I don't blame you for wanting to go pre-built. For giggles, here's a build I whipped up in less than five minutes for roughly 100 euro more than what you were going for Same basic specs (quad-core processor, 1050Ti, 1TB hard drive), but double the RAM, AMD processor/motherboard, and fully-modular power supply. (Yes, it's a German site, but it was the first country on the list that I thought of that'd give me prices in Euro)

Thank you!
 
None of those builds are particularly appealing for the price, is getting a custom PC assembled by someone else an option for you? If so, this build would be much better for the money.

But yes, as @SecretAgentZero said, the i5/1050Ti builds would be the best out of the lot.

I will wait until a black Friday to see if I can take them cheaply.👍
 
I think something like following for 577€ (I think that's how much it is unless I missed something) is good value and should do reasonably well at 1080p - Ryzen 3 1200 with GTX 1060 3GB (1TB HDD, 8GB Ram): Link

I don't know what motherboard they include, worth contacting them and finding out. Great if you can get one with a B350 chipset as that would allow overclocking, even at a small extra cost it is worth getting.

Good to see you got a PC with a GTX 1060. 👍

The i3-7100 is super fast in single core performance which should be good for simulation games and has SMT which should make it still do quite well in games that require a lot of CPU power. Also it has a very capable integrated GPU which is good as a backup.

Should be able to play most games at 1080p 60FPS on max settings with that setup.
 
The PC is here and I bought Windows Home 10 32/64-BIT USB.Can some explain me as an idiot how to install it.:)

Edit:I got it.
