It has been about half a year since I discovered videogame racing on my PS3 and Xbox (GT5, FM4, and FH, respectively). From that, I bought my first wheel, a CSR Elite with clubsport pedals and set up a modest rig in my living room.
Now, I feel I would like to start PC sim racing. I've read many times on this board and others, that PC gaming is miles ahead of console gaming.
So my question is, what do I need to get started? I am not much of a computer guy. I have never gamed on a PC before, and I do not know anything about hardware and the required specs for gaming.
I am starting from the ground up here. I don't have a PC at home. So I'm looking to purchase a decent one. It does not have to be top of the line, but something with respectable specs that will have some technological longevity. I'm not looking for a cheap computer which would only require it to upgraded over a year or so.
Next, what pc simracing games should I get? I am leaning towards realism here though I do enjoy arcade racers. Also, are these sims one time purchases or does it require subscriptions. This is an area I am also pretty ignorant about.
Is there anything else I am missing that I need to know?
