I ran across a used Skytrak complete with hitting area projector mat. I know nothing about it other than I love it but want to be able to play multiplayer courses. From everything I researched the TGC2019 is overwhelmingly the odds on favorite. My problem is the pc requirements. I've noticed on here that most people have built there own towers. I don't need the latest greatest but I don't want to wait two minutes to see image projected on the screen. The projector I got is a view sonic which I'm sure is no where near a high end projector. Can anyone help me with suggestions as to what I need. I have a friend who's son builds computers but this is not a good time due to the supply chain chip shortages. Also, what's the use in having a high powered graphics card with a minimal performing projector. I'm open to any suggestions or help. I hope I'm posting this in the right area, as I said I'm new to all this.

- Will you be setting up the PC in a fixed position or moving it each time you’re done playing?
- How many screens do you plan on adding in addition to the projector?
- Do you see yourself adding other features i.e. high speed cameras for swing recordings or streaming yourself playing?
- Do you ever see yourself using a 4K projector?

No to pretty much all that. I just bought it for my friends I would have one to play. I'm not going to be moving it and I only have the one screen. I might want to upgrade the projector dome day. Right now I just want to be able to play around of golf with my friends. I use it quite a bit to practice since I'm retired I have plenty of time on my hands. Thank you for any help you can suggest.

I would try to find a laptop made within the last year with a 1050ti or better GPU. It would be your cheapest option.
If you do plan on upgrading the projector to 4K find a laptop with a RTX2060 GPU or better.
Last option is a prebuilt desktop with a RTX3060 GPU or above. The most expensive option but you have an upgrade path if your setup changes. Remember you cannot upgrade the important items like CPU and GPU on a laptop.
Simulator software is not difficult to run like the latest video games. The recommendations are listed in cheapest to most expensive.
