    I am currently building a budget gaming PC. I have minimal experience doing this but understand it somewhat. If you have suggestions, part recommendations, advise; please don't be afraid to comment. Here's what we are working with:

    - Some random prebuilt LGA 1155 motherboard with full ATX and 2 Ram slots
    - FSP Group??? 300W non-linear PSU
    - Kingston 250G SSD
    - 8GB of RAM
    - Intel Pentium G630

    I understand these are not optimal specs for BeamNG so I order a Intel i5 3550 and a EVGA double MOLEX to PCI-e 6 pin adapter. From my experience these adapters seem to work from my research some of these adapters are junk and fry your stuff and some just get warm that's why I tried to get a on-brand one. I also plan one getting 1 8GB stick of RAM to up the RAM to 12GB. However I have not ordered a GPU I have a RX580 2GB I acquired a long time ago but I probably does not work. My budget for a gpu is >$85, GPU's are cheap on eBay I just don't know which one to get. Any help is appreciated! Have a nice day

    I plan on spending around $100 extra... I've already spent around $150

    All I basically have left is a GPU but I want something that is equivalent to my i5-3550 I ordered I don't want to bottleneck it too bad.
