Some notes:
First off, if this is your first time doing anything sim racing related I'd take it slow and not invest to much in case you don't end up enjoying yourself as much as you think you will. If it's not go nuts.
This PC build should be able to hold up fine with most games, but someone please chime in if there's some better options. The monitors can easily be substituted for something else, I just love my 144hz. At the end of the day this is personal preference and can be adjusted to fit your needs/wants. I would highly recommend keeping the refresh rate above 120 though.
Finally, That wheel bundle is a bit pricey for someone just starting out, but definitely worth it if you know you will be serious about racing.
edit: Link to wheel
Ahh nice. You should be able to get a pretty decent upgrade.
Thrustmaster is probably what you are going to want to be on the lookout for, since they have some nice stuff in the $3-400 range when it goes on sale. The other option would generally be a Logitech G29 or G920, but while being solid, arent really worth more than $200. The Thrustmaster stuff will be better overall.
To that note, check out this link at Amazon. This was the sale I mentioned above, although it is out of stock right now. It was a bundle of Pedals (roughly $100 if bought separately), a Shifter (roughly $130), the wheel base (roughly $200+), and a wheel rim (roughly $150) for ~$475. If you have heard the term insta-buy, this was it. I would check this every day or two to see if it comes back in stock.
Around BF, Thrustmaster will usually have a variety of deals on the T300. There are a variety of wheel rims it might come with, or a variety of pedals. I would highly recommend getting the pedal set with 3 pedals (clutch, brake, and throttle). The 2 pedal set (brake, throttle) is really low quality and just cheap plastic.
Few bundles include the shifter, so dont go out of your way looking for everything I mentioned in the bundle above. For a TM bundle, it will include the pedals, wheel, and rim for ~$3-400 depending on what exactly is included. The bundle above included a different rim than what normally comes with the wheel base, so it's up to you to figure out what you would be most interested in.
To give you an idea, this might be a good bundle that you might be interested in. Might be under $400 for BF. The bundle I listed above comes with a Ferrari branded rim while this is just a generic TM rim made with leather. Still high quality though and still better than the normal rim is usually sold.
This sort of stuff goes on sale at Amazon every so often, so keep an eye out before BF too.
I believe it is, but it is not as strong as say the T300. The other negative is you can't replace the wheel with other thrustmaster wheels.
The T300 offers 1080 degrees of rotation and the TX offers 900. If 900 degrees is enough for you, you could try this maybe?
You could upgrade the wheel if you want in the future or if you want a better wheel to start you could go with this.
I'd personally go with the first option since you get the shifter and better pedal set. There are plenty of options to go with though. I see a lot of people suggest fanatec pedals. I have the T3PA pedals and they work great for me. Hope this helps let me know if you have any questions.
I bought this a month ago. Of course I'm on XB1, you should be able to find a bundle that fits what you want. Regardless, at $679 new plus something like this or this you're hovering around his $900 price point for brand new, never used stuff.
My 2 cents.
