    Same as in the other thread, just add a PCIe WiFi card and cheap Win10 key online (or just install without activating).

    Sorry to hijack the thread but my friend is looking to build a gaming PC for sim racing also. He has looking to at a system with the following specs:

    AeroCool Midi Shard Black RGB
    be quiet! System Power 9 - 700W
    MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX
    AMD AMD RYZEN 5 2600X
    Xilence A250PWM
    16GB DDR4 (2x8GB)
    Nvidia GeForce RTX2070 Super
    Kingston A2000 - 500GB SSD - M.2 (NVMe)

    He wants the ability to have triple monitors if ever needed in the future. Is the above overkill or would the system linked by K.O.Kiki be suitable?

    The 2600X is slower than 3600.

    What's the price on that system?

    Doesn't sound like a good deal, that's around €300-400 profit margin compared to self-build.

    Yes. I picked out this system for him, as I am going to build it. I think it should suit him fine. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RNwN27
