Any ideas on how to improve the setup? I have done all the usual tricks:

 

SSD, Raid, Overclock, Full 32gb ram, i guess i only need a better GPU but i can not find any good deals now

Triple monitor setup with the HP Z400

 

3x HPL2245wg with custom refresh rate of 67hz, well now i can say i overclocked my monitors too  lool

 

* Still work in progress

rFactor2 

 

Triple screen Nvidia Surround 5040x1050, super smooth gameplay

Yes i looked into that and the good ones are too expensive but i was mostly referring to computer hardware. How to make the computer better.

Get Assetto Corsa and RF2. I like old games too but mobil one rally championship does not look that good.

 

If you are getting your license and a car in the following years get something OLD that is still in good condition and rather cheap.  Older cars are easier to repair and diagnose and don't relay too much on computers to run the car.

 

Also learn to drive properly with a manual transmission. Manual transmissions outlast automatics and are cheaper to repair if something goes wrong. in my experience Japanese cars age very well and used Japanese car will get you a long way.

at the time mobil one rally championship was awesome looking kinda like halflife. i heard there buggy with it thow so sounds like downloading it and craking/ patching it is best then buying the cd. love old game but they are a Paine to get to work! but that also bring me to new games were they work then don't....wtf like city skylines...omg WTF happened! i see now why to keep your old pc instead of selling because there just might be games that work on it that don't on your new pc! i heard good old games is better for older games then steam.

Well there are a tons of awesome old games, new doesn't always mean good and that goes for a lot of things like for example cars.

There are old cars that last 30 years and new cars that after 5 years they need so much expensive repairs that you have to get rid of them.

ya i no what you mean i just tuend off of aaa titles these days. i love diablo 2 and i woryed about diablo 4 i think they killed it. but not all is lost there projects that make d2 fun like path of diablo and there a remake (not from blizzard) being made to balance the game. good news thow is Indy games are killing it. could be a reason why i just watch you tube videos of game play then rather then buy and play.

 

i have my dads amp on my desk from like 40 years ago still works. wish i had a house to get the speakers there so crisp sounding.
