Best PC-Only Budget Build
GTPlanet Featured Build
If you're willing to give up console compatibility, a Moza wheel base gets you the most Nm per dollar, and this build takes full advantage. The Moza Racing R12 V2 puts out an impressive 12 Nm of torque, which is more than enough for most players. It comes in a bundle with the CS V2P wheel and the SRP2 pedals, which include a hybrid load-cell brake pedal (it responds to how hard you press, not just how far the pedal moves) for improved braking feel.
All of that is mounted in the Fanatec CSL Cockpit v1.5 and Seat Bundle, which gives you a solid, comfortable driving position and a platform you can build on later. Put it all together and you have an impressive rig for just over $1,000.
The downside is that you're stuck on PC. If you ever want console compatibility, you'll have to swap out most of these parts, so this is the build for someone who knows PC is where they'll be racing.
