What is most valuable to upgrade to

I just got a g29 on GT7 and am wondering which is best and will build more realism I want to get a PC so that I can run
i-racing but  that is pretty expensive I also don’t have a rig yet. I want a load cell brake. I don’t know what to upgrade first pedals, simulator, or sim rig. Please help

A load cell definitely requires a solid rig. My suggestion would be to get a foldable rig, like the Next Level Racing GT-Lite, put your G29 on there, and when the time comes for new pedals, you can get the RS 50 pedals by Logitech, which have a load cell. You could also get the clutch, if you wanted. Then you could get the RS50 base and wheel later on, or you could go another route completely and switch to another brand. Either way, get the rig first

If I’m being honest, the upgrade that will matter most long term is moving to a PC, even though it’s the most expensive and least exciting step upfront. A PC unlocks iRacing and the wider sim ecosystem, which gives you far more realistic physics, structured online racing, better peripheral support, and room to grow without constantly hitting platform limits. That said, you don’t need to rush everything at once. On your current setup, the single biggest driving improvement you can make is a load cell brake, because it directly affects consistency and braking technique even on a G29. A full rig is important too, but only once you have pedals that actually need solid mounting, otherwise it becomes a comfort upgrade more than a performance one. My advice would be load cell pedals first if you can mount them securely, then plan the PC upgrade when budget allows, and only invest in a rig once you’re ready to support those pedals properly. It’s slower, but it avoids wasting money and sets you up far better in the long run.
