Sim Racing Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 9600, RX 9070 GRE

RX 9070 GRE Racing Simulator Computer – Built in the UK

The Sim Racing Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 9600, RX 9070 GRE is a mid-range 1440p racing simulator PC for drivers who want smooth racing with a wheel base, pedals and up to four monitors.

This RX 9070 GRE racing simulator computer is built around an AMD Ryzen 5 9600 processor and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB graphics card, with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It is put together for drivers who want strong graphics for 1440p racing, plenty of USB connections for a wheel, pedals and shifter, and a compact black case with a tempered glass panel that sits comfortably beside a cockpit or desk. Because it is built to order, you can change parts in the configurator before you buy.

The Sim Racing Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 9600, RX 9070 GRE is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 9600 with 6 cores and 12 threads, on a Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WIFI6E motherboard with the AMD B850 chipset. Graphics come from an AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE with 12GB of GDDR6 memory, system memory is 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz in dual channel, and the primary drive is a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It runs genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 5 9600 processor for racing physics

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600 is a 6 core, 12 thread AM5 processor with a 3.8GHz base clock, a maximum turbo of 5.2GHz and 32MB of L3 cache. Racing simulators lean on strong per-core speed to run the physics model, the track and the other cars on the grid, and the high boost clock is what this chip brings to that job. Six cores leave room for the sim itself, telemetry apps and voice chat running alongside it. The processor also has integrated graphics, although the Radeon RX 9070 GRE handles all of the racing.

Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics for 1440p and multi-screen

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE has 3072 cores, 12GB of GDDR6 memory and a 220W power rating. It is aimed at 1440p racing at high settings, where the 12GB of video memory gives room for detailed tracks and car models. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs, so it can drive up to four monitors, which covers a triple-screen setup with a spare display for telemetry or a dashboard (the exact output layout may vary by card brand). Triple screens ask a lot more of any graphics card than a single monitor, so expect to balance resolution and settings if you go that way. It is not a card for demanding 4K ultra settings.

32GB DDR5 memory and fast NVMe storage

Memory is a 32GB Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL36 kit, fitted as 2 x 16GB in dual channel. The board has 4 DIMM slots with 2 used and supports up to 256GB, so memory can grow later. The 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is rated at 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write, which keeps Windows, your sims and track loading quick. The motherboard has 2 M.2 slots with one free, plus 4 SATA ports and case mounts for 1 x 3.5″ and 2 x 2.5″ drives, which helps when you want more space for car packs and track add-ons. Larger or additional drives can be chosen in the configurator.

Jonsbo D31 case with 240mm liquid cooling

The Jonsbo D31 Mesh Micro in black is a mini tower with a tempered glass side panel, measuring 452mm deep, 205mm wide and 363mm high. That narrow width suits a desk or the space beside a racing rig. The case has no fans fitted as standard, so this build adds 3 x be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm fans in black. The processor is cooled by a Corsair NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB 240mm AIO liquid cooler, and power comes from a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 PSU.

USB, networking and audio for sim racing rigs

Sim racing means a lot of USB devices, and the rear panel offers 1 x Type-A 10Gbps, 1 x Type-C 10Gbps, 2 x Type-A 5Gbps and 4 x USB 2.0 ports. The front panel adds 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and 1 x USB 3.0 Type-A, plus an audio and microphone jack. That gives room for a wheel base, pedals, a shifter, a handbrake and a button box. Networking is 2.5GbE wired, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and the board provides 7.1 channel High Definition Audio.

Ideal for

• Sim racers with a wheel base, pedals and shifter who want 1440p graphics
• Drivers planning a triple-screen or multi-monitor racing setup
• Online racers who want a wired 2.5GbE connection and fast NVMe loading
• Anyone building a compact racing rig who wants a narrow, tempered glass case
• Drivers who also play other modern games away from the track

Can I run three monitors on this PC?

Yes, the graphics card has 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs and supports up to four monitors, though the exact layout may vary by card brand. Three screens put a much heavier load on the graphics card than one, so you may want to lower the settings or use lower-resolution panels for the best frame rates.
