wil it work?

Yep, now in my family everybody comes to me. I've build over 10 PC's by now, 3 for me, 2 for my brother, some for my uncles and cousins, others for friends (One ordered a 4500$ PC from me hahaha)

 

thats a tricky question...to be honest its not how much you should spend its...how much your WILLING to spend

No way but thats pretty awesome

 

In my opinion the sweet spot is 800-1000$ others might disagree, that's my opinion

I didn't even knew what to answer to him hahaha.
Went for an awesome fully watercooled build (God I wish it was mine :c) spent over 50 hours on it.
In the end my friend offered me 500$ for the work

 

I'd say if you want enough for BeamNG to play at "fun" level around $600-800 tops
I mean it runs fine at like 45-60 fps on my Laptop depending on the map.
If you want enough to make videos and recording and play s at high settings with fast FPS more like $800-1000

 

Ok....... once ive had the repair from nissan
id be willing to spend a out 800-1000 pounds

 

Welcome to PC gaming then (the proper gaming haha no, for real.)

 

Wish my car was that cheap to make faster.

 

Yeah, I wish I had one... hahahaha (I'm still taking my driver's license :c In Portugal you can only take it when you turn 18)

 

My desktop was built for £500, I would share the links for parts, but sadly I built it 2 years ago now and some of the parts are no longer on sale.

It can be done though.

scan.co.uk is my first stop for parts in the UK.

 

It can, no one in this thread say it couldn't... It's not great value for money though...

 

I bought a R33 skyline gtr about 5 years ago and its been on the road for the past year
as i rebuilt it.

sbould be pushing almost 400BHP hopefully.

so what sort of parts am i looking at in regards to the pc build??

 

My PC cost me £700 in July 2013. All parts were bought from scan.co.uk I didn't spend any money on displays as I got them all for free. I also didn't buy the 2 1tb drives. You can see my specs in my signature

 

It is when you physically cannot spare £500 in the first place. Officially the budget was even lower than that, £500 was the stretched budget

 

Well, I can't make a list in 5 minutes :s (it's getting late and I gotta sleep so I can only make it tomorrow).
But expect something like an i5-4670k, a 600-700W PSU, and AMD R9 270x or even R9 280x...
Edit: Also 8 GB of RAM, decent motherboard and so on

 

I would suggest an Nvidia card over an ATI card due to certain maps not working properly with ATI cards. Something like the GTX 760.

 

Yeah, but I reckon he is not building the PC just for BeamNG... so the value of an AMD card would be a better bet, also, that might be fixed in the future

 

I would start with AMD processors instead of intel. Intel are generally the superior performer, but they cost alot more and AMD can do the job just fine.


AMD have 2 major lineups. The APU's and the FX series. The FX series require an AM3+ motherboard, APU's require FM2 motherboards. FX series are fairly standard processors, solid choice if you provide an external graphics card.
The APU lineup embeds a graphics card and processor into 1 chip. Neither is as good as having the 2 seperate parts, but the higher end APU's can certainly cope with a bit of BeamNG, they can be overclocked to be decent CPU performers and they can use external graphics cards so they do have a nice upgrade path at least. Not sure if anyone has actually done a full benchmark for BeamNG, but you can build a very cheap PC with them.


I'm personally an NVidia GPU guy rather than AMD. That does come at cost though.



In the £500 budget originally stated a fairly competent rig can be done (competent: ie being able to play modern games, just not necessarily max them). In the £800 option, no problem building something within that, even intel based.

 

Dude... His budget is £900, better get a solid ground on which he can easily upgrade. The i5-4670k is better than any AMD chip, let alone an APU hahaha

 

I was still stuck back on the previous page somewhere where the budget was originally stated as 500, hence why I referred to my (aging) machine being built for under 500 and the starting point above being AMD based. If he can stretch to 8 or 9 hundred, sure, intel rig is perfectly doable.

 

Oh, ok, that explains it

Well guys, I really got to go :s need to get some sleep...
Take care I will check the thread tomorrow morning maybe, just to see what's up hahaha
