Hi fellas, my rig is showing its age (single monitor). I have very limited technical knowledge
in terms of building a PC. My budget would be around $700-$800 tops. Need advice on
what/which to buy, what to do and what not to do.

Already have the following below
Monitors: 24" Asus Monitors - $450
Bluray/DVD/CD Drive: Asus $40
Case: Antec $25

Parts needed ($700-$800 budget)
Processor:
Motherboard:
Videocard/s:
Memory:
Power Supply:
Hardrive:

Performance? Possibly around 45-60fps at medium to high settings with
iRacing. Can 60+ fps with everything at max be achieved within my budget?

you won't be able to max everything on every track with that budget. Iracing has a few options that even my sli 570s have trouble keeping over 60FPS on some of the harder to run tracks.

That is enough of a budget though, to be able to run most of the graphics high, and only have to turn down, things that you won't notice anyway.

I would say AMD for the CPU and you can stay under 200$ for both the cpu and mother board. Where are you from? If there's a microcenter near you they have a pretty awsome deal going on for AMD CPUs and a free mobo with it. http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/AMDbundlePROMO.html

My buddy just bought one of the fx 6100 deals, and so far it's working great. I seen on toms hardware that that CPU didn't show any signs of being a bottleneck until they ran it with dual 6970s. So for 119$ you could have a CPU and mobo that will run almost any game made maxed out right now. With a 800$ budget you won't be going with 2 6970s anyway.
