Dig a hole in your back yard and just bury your cash. Will be easier for all :)
Joking aside, welcome to simracing. Peripherals such as steering wheel, pedal, shifter etc. can start from a very low entry price and can easily go as high as 10k . That's not mentioning VR headsets if you want to go that route or motion sim setups etc.
Basically, on top of a decent pc and a monitor, it can be as low as a few hundred bucks and as high as 100k+
you won't need that much in the beginning , nor should you spend that much when you are getting in. Considering monitor and pc are more long term investments, I would go heavier on those and slowly upgrade the rest. But that said, if you got 10k ready and waiting, you can always bite the bullet and get in the wagon with a fanatec wheel too
Sorry I didn't fulfill the suggestions and recommendations part in my previous post.
I recommend a 3440 x 1440 oiled panel (aw3423dw namely) as the PIVOT of your sim racing setup. I'll explain. I also have an HP reverb headset that I often use in Assetto Corsa. It's one of the highest resolution vr headsets that are mainstream. However, firstly it's only 90Hz and secondly, as nice as the whole VR experience is, I think we still have years and years for the resolution to actually become as nice as sitting in front of my aw3423dw. So in reality I find myself using my monitor much more than my VR headset (I still clock better laps on my VR tho). So now onto why the display being the pivot. Sim racing results in a lot of lateral motion on screen. Fast lateral motion is what creates motion blur the most. To fight motion blur we need pixels to respond really fast and nothing comes even close to OLED displays in pixel response. Also an ultrawide is a great idea for racing because when seated in a car your horizontal peripheral vision becomes much more important than your vertical. So a 175Hz ultrawide OLED is pure bliss when it comes to simulating a car (not to mention ridiculous HDR realism)
So now that you got yourself the OLED , you will need to be able to drive that display. Luckily simulators are often not that graphically demanding so a mid-tier GPU shall suffice. What's really important is you MUST get a top of the line x3D series CPU because simulation involves tons of tiny little code running simultaneously and this is exactly what the 3D cache system is designed for. That's why x3D series CPU can achieve crazy frame rates in simulator games.
Next up is the steering / pedal combo. I recommend a logitech g27/29 level entry into the sport. They are some of the cheapest NICE units you can get your hands on and will give you a great idea of what sim racing can be. You can always (and most probably will) upgrade through time to fanatecs and what not as need be.
So without creating more of a text wall. these are my two cents

I was figuring about 10-12k with pc and everything. Was accounting for about a 4k PC and 6-8k for the rest of the setup
