Hey, so I'm in the market for a new gaming PC. Specifically a PC that can run BeamNG fairly well and my budget is $600-$700, maybe $800. Before I say anything else, it must be known that i know nothing know nothing about. Computers. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I e looked into building PCs before, I just dont have the time, or effort. For a while, I was considering this PC: But now I'm just not sure what to do. Ant suggestions will be greatly appreciated, especially support. Thanks.
Rules of thumb: The more you invest, the longer it will last. The power supply is the foundation of your PC and should be chosen carefully. Same with the motherboard. RGB =/= performance. Invest more in your parts than flashy lights, and you'll be happier with your PC's performance later on down the line. Use userbenchmark.com to get a good idea of how the parts you plan to buy perform. With your budget, don't settle for less than 65% Don't buy that PC in your post, the GPU is even slower than the dreaded GTX 710. You'll have trouble with it from day 1. If you want a decent PC, you have to build it yourself. Here's a decent starting build guide: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/csQzK8/modest-amd-gaming-build It will run Beam maxed out with 1-2 cars, and if you turn the settings down it can probably run up to 9 at once. If you have any more questions, tomshardware.com is a great place to ask them.
^ 'Nuff said. I just wanted to remember that you don't have to fall in the misconception that "more Ghz = more power". Choose the best component you can buy within your budget and if you need help, ask here in the forums (possibly in this thread to keep everything nice and tidy) or check the endless guides/comparisons that are available on the web.
