I've been using it for Sim Racing and paired up a Samsung 49" G9 super ultra wide monitor. I've been getting about 110 fps on mid-graphics, but iRacing tends to be more CPU-heavy than GPU-heavy. For my usage, I've been extremely happy. It's performing right where I want it to be and I don't feel like I bought something that was overkill.
I've yet to see anyone post anything that's better or for that matter, even build a better PC with a legit copy of windows that is cheaper.

Gaming nerds watch youtubers who are PAID to pimp free products like video cards to drive up sales and think they somehow NEED it. You don't...don't believe the hype.

I5-12600KF or 7500F with mobo = $250
32GB DDR4 = $100
2TB SSD = $100
Case = $60
600W Gold PSU = $80
Subtotal = $590
Leaving $310 for GPU, OS and peripherals.
So, this is a good deal.
Might be leaning toward the Cyper PC one!

we tried different ram, hard drive, wipe drive and reinstall windows 10 home.
and kept getting bsod crashing. I suspect ram speeds of 6000+ are unstable. but I told client to return it.

What should I be on the lookout for with a floor model?
