all right let's break this down for you so it's easy to follow the first step is you need to decide which system you want is it console or is it a pc before you do anything you need to answer this question you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on the wheel just to find out it doesn't work with your system there are essentially three options for any sim racing platform xbox playstation or pc and if you already own one of those the decision has kind of already been made for you the cheapest way to go about this would be to just use what you have but if you're new to the game and you don't have any of them i would definitely recommend starting and finishing on pc i know a console is cheap NUMBER_TOKEN bucks and you're done that's fair but just know that you're really limiting yourself and with the psNUMBER_TOKEN and the new xbox coming why buy a console right now now if you already have a playstation or an xbox there's not a lot of money you need to commit to get into sim racing but if you're just a die hard console user and i had to pick one i would definitely recommend the playstation simply for the fact that you get the gran turismo franchise but take it from me either way you're delaying the inevitable you eventually will end up on pc if you get into sim racing sure it's a higher price point to begin with but there are just so many more options in terms of software and hardware for pc now if you do decide to go with the pc there are a number of different routes you can take if you're kind of a diy-er you can build yourself a pc that'll run most sims for about NUMBER_TOKEN bucks now i won't go into exactly how to build a NUMBER_TOKEN pc there are a million channels doing a million videos about that every day but it's pretty realistic to say that for about NUMBER_TOKEN bucks all in you'll have a pretty solid setup that includes the monitor the keyboard the mouse everything and if your family or you already have a pc consider that you can use a lot of its parts to save you money when building your new pc bonus building a pc yourself is actually really fun it's one of my favorite hobbies now if you're afraid of doing it yourself there are some sellers like skytech on amazon that have ready to go rigs for around NUMBER_TOKEN bucks i'll have a link for that down below now luckily most sim racing titles aren't that demanding and can run on pretty much any gaming computer so try not to overspend in this area and save that money for where it counts the wheel what's the deal with the wheel well i'm glad you asked buying a wheel and the base that goes with it is the first step on your journey to sim racing nirvana now it's true most sims are compatible with an xbox or a playstation controller and even a keyboard but if you're using these is it really sim racing it's more of a video game i mean how many cars have you driven that are controlled by four little buttons and a joystick you want your hands gripped around a real wheel and your feet pressing down on real pedals
