Full disclosure, I work in the industry so I'm jaded and bias.

Good – $499

Logitech G923 – this is what kids play or when we were at arcade (minimal feedback). Easy entry level into Sim racing and just cool to play with.

Better $1,264.99 I would go a bit higher end
Gran Turismo® DD Pro (5 Nm)

Going to focus on bundles. Choose the platform you want to play. PS / PC etc. I don’t think people play Xbox much so make sure you choose the right one.
5 Nm = decent feedback on the wheel (no feedback on pedals).

Best – Fanatec / Moza

ClubSport DD+ Ready2Race GT3 Bundle (15 Nm)
https://www.fanatec.com/ca/en/p/sim-...le-for-xbox-us

15 Nm / 100% force feedback, you can break / spring your thumbs (not joking). You will get a work out feeling the shifts, engine and bumps on the road cutting apex corners, and you most likely won’t finish a lap ever (Traction Control / ABS turned off) without practicing for a solid week.

(note this is entry level - no pedal shift, no stick shift) - for fanatec / moza

Cockpit

Most economical setup.

"Lawn chairs" setup, based on space etc, you get started here.

You got China brands – support 3 monitor setup – solid and legit, 20% cheaper

You got Fanatec who is king.

Final thoughts
Ensure you get pedal shifting. 9 out of 10 cockpits i see are no stick and no clutch. I feel you won’t even use hand brake (unless rally) or stick shift (1-7)(just up / down)

Regardless, stay within your econ system. Things tend to fit better.

CPU nowadays - $5k (SSD + DRAM is crazy + GPU if you are to build now)
cockpit $2000
chair $500
Shifter - $300
pedals $500
wheel - porsche etc - $500
game - $30 on promo Assetto Corsa
monitors 49 inch - 1000 or triple monitor $1000
PC case mount 300
pc keyboard mount 300
mount to mount your pc mount 300 (yes, LOL).
