Would this do?

I use a Fanatec ICSW2.5 base with V3 pedalen plus shifter.

Id say definitely.

I would say consider an AMD Ryzen 5700 or higher. They’re fantastic processors and don’t get as hot as the Intel CPU’s do. I have a 5800X and it hasn’t struggled with anything I’ve thrown at it yet.

You haven't mentioned what kind of screen you've got (resolution and refresh rate specifically), the 3060 is sold as the "1080p" card in the current generation but you can probably go a fair bit further because those games aren't all that recent or graphically demanding, although I must admit I have no idea what ACC is like in terms of performance. Are you thinking of VR, triple monitors, a 4K screen or anything more demanding than 1080p at 60Hz?

I plan to use a Philips HD TV via HDMI. It's an older model. If I compare it running ps4rpo games with AC on my laptop, then the ps4pro delivers the goods. I might consider a ps5. I can transfer my F1 2021 and ACC in February. If I ever get hold of a ps5 anyway.

So I bought a system with a Ryzen 7 x5800 and an RTX3060ti card.

I plan to get a ultrawidescreen (3440x1440). I don't need to run 200 fps all the time. 60-90 fps should be enough. I think a 75 Hz monitor should be enough.

Thoughts?

My recommendation would be a 100hz monitor or higher, with gsync. I believe a lot of racing games/Sims have their force feed back tied to fps (others can correct me if I'm wrong). And while 25hz may not seem like a big difference, I feel like the additional detail in ffb is helpful.

And 3440x1440 is a great resolution to use. It's what I had for 4 years, before going with 5120x1440 just a couple months ago.

Edit: changed "locked" to "tied"

Makes sense! 100Hz it will be then.
