PC Spec help

If you want to try track editing you need a decent monitor as well, preferably widescreen and as big as possible.
Important things are processor (> 3Ghz) and graphics (I'd recommend nVidia over ATi but that's just from personal experience).
Also, an SSD improves loading times significantly, but they're expensive.

I'd go for your first choice.
This is what I'm building right now. Parts sourced via pcpartpicker.com.
G3220 3.0Ghz Dual Core CPU, Asus H81M-E Micro ATX LGA 1150 motherboard, 8GB Kingston DDR3-1333 memory, WD Blue 500GB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal HDD, Silverstone ML03B HTPC case, Antec 350W PSU, Internal case fan, Low Profile ATI HD7750 1GB GPU, 2 x IDE to SATA Cards (for an Optical IDE DVD & 1 x IDE HDD), 1 x Low Profile PCI-E Wireless card.
The requirement was for a case that would be no higher than 105mm (low-profile form factor) to fit under the seat of my racing simulator. Build price including shipping came in under $A550-00.
It replaces a P4, 4GB Ram, Geforce GT9600 512MB, Dell Gx280 case, the existing DVD, 1 x IDE HDD & 1 x SATA HDD will go into the new case as well as the new 2.5" WD HDD.
The Dell is no longer upgradeable as sourcing a better PCI GPU than the GT9600 card is impossible. It lags on some graphics heavy sims anyway so out it goes.
