This seems to have popped up on our rFactor 2 thread. So I thought I'd open this thread for people to comment and add in any pre-built PCs for our less tech savvy users.
rFactor 2 requirements first:
Minimum: - 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or 3.0 GHz AMD Athlon II x2 or better - Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, with latest Service Packs - 4GB RAM - nVidia GTS 450 or AMD Radeon 5750 - 1GB Video Memory - DirectX 9.0c - 10GB free HD space - DirectX compatible sound card - Broadband internet connection
Recommended: - 3.0 GHz Intel i5 or 4.0 GHz AMD FX or better - Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, with latest Service Packs - 8GB RAM - nVidia GTX 760 or AMD 7870 - 2GB Video Memory - DirectX 9.0c - 50GB free HD space - DirectX compatible sound card - Broadband internet connection

Going a little more up market here.... Overclockers have a massive range: www.overclockers.co.uk/Although they can be a bit more expensive. When you look at their custom built PCs, you'll need to make sure you add your operating system on top. Unless you have a DVD from a previous PC that you are disguarding. I'd recommend Windows 10, if you're buying new here. That adds around £80 to the cost. Plenty of choice on the Gaming PC section. Make sure the Graphics card has 2GB, as some don't. You can customise any of them before buying, but it alters the price. So one that was £420 needed a graphics card to run rFactor 2. I do like the look of this one: Quality components used throughout. ASUS motherboard etc.. www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-089-OG£505 +£80 for Windows 10 64bit Total £585Also, worth bearing in mind is that their PCs come with a decent warranty for custom built machines.

Would a brand new white computer equipped with, AMD Radeon R5-330 DDR3 (2GB) graphics, be OK for rFactor2?

I'm not sure John. The R5 is a very low end card despite the 2GB. There are not many reviews on it. The AMD R7 and above cards will guarantee that rFactor2 will work nicely. I'll do some more checking later and let you know.

Remember John your graphics card will also need to support your new triple screens when they arrive

www.tomshardware.co.uk/best-gpus,review-33382.html 730 may not be up to the job, have they got an upgrade option? Got a card worth 120 -150 ish which is prob sweet spot for price/ performance balance.
