while assetto corsa for ps4 has been great, im looking to switch to pc for this game.
no experience or knowledge of pc gaming, would really only be using a pc for this game (not really into anything other than racing) was thinking of googling "gaming pc" and buying the cheapest one. convenience wise was thinking of getting a gaming laptop, but would that be enough to support a game like assetto corsa? what with downloading all the big mods other users upload, playing online with other people, graphics, etc. in terms of computing power er whatever? (no idea what im saying here folks) tldr: never had a gaming pc, want to download and play online all the cool mods other people people make in assetto corsa, what's the best deal and which computer should i get to achieve that. thanks! |

Then look at the recommended system requirements for the game. You need at least that. Disk space is pretty cheap if you have a hdd (spinny disk hard drive) instead of an ssd (solid state), bit it will be slower. See link below, assuming that is the right game. https://www.assettocorsa.net/system-requirements/ Based on that, you will want at least an Intel i5 (or AMD equivalent) running Windows 10, I would recommend at least 8GB ram and at least a 120GB hard drive as Windows takes up a lot of space. Now, that is going to look like pretty much any PC out there. The difference is in cooling, graphics, and peripherals. You will probably be fine with any gaming graphics card from the last few years on AC. I run it at 4k on a GTX 1080 which seems to handle it fine. Note that the cooling and power supply on cheaper systems with these specs are likely to be loud and of lower quality overall. I would expect to spend about about $1k on a moderately inexpensive gaming desktop all together. Maybe a bit more depending on what peripherals you want. Gaming laptops are going to be closer to $1.5-$2k. Plenty of sites like this to help you out too. https://www.pcgamer.com/best-gaming-pc/ Last edited by Spuds; 09-22-2020 at 09:13 PM. |

PS4 is based on the Radeon HD7000 series, highly customized of course.

You can get laptops with a ryzen 4000 series CPU and a 1660ti for around ~$1000. Anything with a 1660ti and higher will play assetto corsa.

Also remember there is such a thing as building too cheap.
Then 6 months down the line you run into a bottleneck. In this case I'd go with at least a 1TB nvme drive for the boot drive if you don't plan on having more than one drive in the computer. |

This isn't directed to you Spuds but to @beltax90.
Spend as much as you can on a monitor because this is the only component that isn't out of date by next week. My current monitor was released 5 years ago and there is still no need/motivation for me to even consider changing.

Speaking of monitors, only 56 days to go.

Speaking of which, anything 28" and up you should be looking at greater than FHD (1920x1080) resolution IMO. You typically sit closer to a pc screen than a TV, so you are more likely to notice pixelation on larger screens. Below 28" FHD will be fine, but you could upgrade if you had more budget. |

I disagree. I can almost/just make out the pixels on my 27" 2560x1440 monitor at (too) close viewing distance. I think that should read 27" and up. Sincerely, yours truly, best regards, all the best, Me.

Funnily enough, Assetto Corsa w/ mods at max settings is one of the main reasons why I'm trying to build a new computer in the first place...
