Hi there, 

I would like to create a PC only for Lightgun games... The old ones but also newer ones. Question is what Hardware should I buy for a good Emulation? Must I have e. g. an i9 processor ? Which graphic card would you recommend? Nvidia? Any advice would be great and helpfull... ?

For lightgun games your display is more important, old school lightgun games worked with CRT displays, but im guessing you will be using a more modern flat screen, if thats the case no lightgun from that era will actually work with the display. So you may want to look into the displays and guns needed to actually get this to work first, to see whether its gonna be worth the investment.

.. I am surely using the Sinden Lightgun... 

I need Hardware recommendations... Thx

The hardware is going to be based more on the games you want to play more so than the gun itself.

Having said that, I have a lowly 7th gen i3 that I can play all the light guns game with no issues. If you are looking to play more of the modern light gun games on Teknoparrot, you'll save yourself a lot of hassle if you have an NVidia based GPU.

(My cabinet has an i3-7100 and a Nvidia 970 GTX)
