I’m on a committee for a non-profit and put this sheet together just to show people what costs would be for various gaming setups. The goal is to build a gaming community and eventually have big tournaments and possibly fundraising events.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

    3k for a flight sim setup? That is very high end. Short of replica cockpits or flight decks I don’t know how you could even spend much more than that.

      I figured in the pc and monitor with that pricing. It looks like a decent set of controls is around $500 Then some kind of gaming chair and at least a desk. You’re right though $3k is high. Maybe $2k is more realistic.

        The description said entry level though, which you could easily do for under £1k at an entry level budget.

          Easily, with an okay-ish monitor and peripherals, and today’s RAM prices?

                Thrustmaster T16000M is pretty good and the sort of thing you would be looking for as a reliable option that is comfortable for entry level. Currently £50 on Amazon. Any keyboard and mouse that is functional to go with it would be fine.
