That's a pretty low end gaming machine. However, minimum requirements are not

pretty much any low end HP or Dell at Best Buy would beat those specs. I think they all have min 8 GB RAM, etc.

Sure. I'd probably ask what Psalm Trees thinks below, since he does simracing too. But I'll offer some ideas.

Are you looking to build your own pc or pre-built?

Devbo

based on my computer knowledge, probably best to buy pre-built

It wouldn’t be no
