Hello simracers
I've been racing with a wheel for 1.5 year and for about 4 months on my PC, into the proper sims like GSC. I use a G27 atm with a wheelstand pro for a DFGT (the wheel I originally had) modified to fit the shifter. here's the foto:

I'm looking to upgrade my wheel again, and possibly a racing seat with a monitor. I'm using a laptop now so I don't know how that'll work if I want to use a monitor. I'm looking to spend about €500,- for the setup, and use the money that I get from the G27+wheelstand when I sell it. I hope it'll be around €700-€750 in total.
What do you guys recommend? buy a used setup or brand new? and what kind of wheel is best (I'm only doing PC racing). I was thinking about a fanatec Clubsport wheel base with a BMW wheel. 
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

The seat is the most expensive part of a rig, searching a good 2nd hand one. Also thinking to stay with my G27, or maybe a csr from fanatec.
