Building a Protee Golf Simulator Computer

Nice. Should run TGC on high with object at 3.

Is that good?! Obviously 'high' is good, but what is object 3?

On a complete different note... is it worth getting a touch screen monitor?
My sim will be running with a GC2. Is there going to be a lot of computer interaction required to play a round of golf? I've never used a sim before - but I assume I have to use the computer to choose the general direction I want to hit in? I'm also going to need to select the required club (or do I skip that using a GC2?)
I'd rather use a touch screen than a keyboard / mouse if possible. I need a new monitor anyway, and have spotted a great deal on a 23" touch screen.

Finally just finished my build:

AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz 8-Core Processor
MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
8GB DDR3-1866 RAM
Sapphire 100363-4L Radeon R9 280X Video Card
128GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD
1TB WD Hard Drive
Rosewill Capstone 750M 80+ Gold Power Supply
NZXT Source 210 Case
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooling Fan
Windows 8.1 64 Bit

Thanks for everyone's help and comments. I'll probably play with the PC version of TGC, while I save up for the rest of the simulator build.

Let us know how well TGC works on your new build. Should be pretty good. I have that same cooler. It's a beast.

Good deal. Too bad I don't need one right now.

looks like there is a GTX 960 card out now that people could consider using.

For minimum systems maybe. It's still a low end card. Go with 70's 80's series cards. i.e. 770, 780, etc...
