New sim rig: opinions please

Let me start by saying I have a bad habit of going into things all in, so I am trying not to do that on sim racing since I don't really know how much I'll like it. Rather than spend the $6k on a setup that I would want, maybe I spend half or less on a base I can upgrade over time, if I like it. This should also put focus more on quality controls which should have good resale if I bail on it.

Was thinking of basing it on a PS4/5 for now as that cuts $1800 of PC cost and I don't already own one. Just a PS4.

Cockpit would be Next Level F-gt ($500) plus a $150 monitor stand. A Fanatec setup based on CSL V2.5 with shifter, inverted pedals and BMW GT wheel. That would be about $1700 in controls. Finally, a good monitor for about $250.

So all in on this should be about $3300. Does this make sense or anyone offer up suggestions? Obviously playing PS4 games won't be anything like PC based, so that is a concern too.
