The only game I usually play is the Gran Turismo series on my PlayStation 3. Well, as I suspected, the next version in the series will only work on a PlayStation 4. I have ZERO interest in buying a PS4!
So, what racing games do any of you recommend for a PC? I was thinking I would start out with Project CARS.
I have a GTX 960, a PA328Q 32" 4 monitor, and I got the drivers working to use my Logitech Racing Wheel and PS3 controllers on my PC. I could upgrade my video card if necessary. I have never needed performance out of a video card, so I figured the 960 would last me a while since I can drive two 4k monitors with it. Well, now I want to play games.
I've never played it myself but I have heard lots of good things about Project Cars. If you are into sim racers that cover a wide spectrum of car types this is probably your choice.

Assetto Corsa has a higher user rating on Steam than Project Cars but it's a smaller game with less car choices.

If you are into more specific things like Formula 1 or Rally cars there are games on PC that only focus on that type of racing.
Your 960 is well above the recommended specs for Project Cars. It's many times more powerful than the PS3 you were using and it's more powerful than the PS4 too. Assuming you also have a decent CPU and 8GB of RAM your PC should be a better place to play games than either of the new consoles.
Here is the thing though. Gaming at 4K on one monitor isn't really feasible on new games unless you are willing to spend nearly $700 for a GTX 980Ti. Even then you might have to turn settings down on lots of the newest games. Only way around that would be getting two of them to run in SLI.
Some games (especially racing games) do support multi monitor setups but I don't think there is a GPU in existence that can handle games like Project Cars on two 4K monitors.
Unless you are willing to buy more graphics power you are going to have to run on one monitor at a lower resolution like 1920 x 1080 (1080p). You would have to tinker with the game settings until you find a resolution you like that still provides playable framerates. You can still leave the other monitor on for things like web browsing but the game would confined to one monitor.
Another option is keeping the resolution at 3840 x 2160 (4K) but turning all the game's settings down. It will still look better than what you are used to on PS3 but my guess is that it won't look as good as the settings maxed out at 1920 x 1080 would.
Edit: to be clear you don't need a $700 GPU to game at 4K if you are willing to turn other settings down to low or medium. Things like anti aliasing aren't as important at resolutions that high and they take up quite a bit of performance. You are going to have to make a lot of sacrifices at 4K to get a playable framerate on a 960 though.
On some games it won't be possible especially if you have the 2GB VRAM version of the 960.
