    Me and a friend are building a dedicated beam ng pc using parts i already have (which range from 2005 to 2008). It will run mods (various ones with mods totaling around 2 gb). I have the following parts:

    Intel Socket 775 motherboard from 2008 (can overclock as needed)
    4 GB ddr2 ram for it (max the board takes)
    core 2 duo e6750
    pentium e6600
    AMD radeon hd 5770 1 gb
    AMD socket AM3 motherboard from 2012
    Some AMD sempron
    6 gb ddr3 ram for it (board has 2 ram slots only)

    My plan is to use the intel motherboard with a core 2 quad q8400 (which im getting for free and will oc when i get a better cooler) with 4 gb of some nice corsair ddr2-800 ram and the hd 5770, but will it be enough to run beam ng?

    This probably is in the wrong thread so my bad if it is.

    You can mod a LGA771 Xeon CPU of that time to fit into LGA775 boards. Why? Those Xeon CPUs + moddingparts are very cheap compared to those Core2Duo Extreme Editions but still have same the performance. I had an Intel Xeon X5450 for ~30€ + 6€ modpart. The equivalent Core2duo would have cost me >130€ on ebay.

    I’ll get one soon, but I’m iffy on doing it because it involves cutting off 2 tabs in the socket and I gotta get the right one. I got a Intel g31 motherboard and according to the supported cpu’s the highest possible cpu is a core 2 extreme qx9650 but according to Delidded.com, these Xeons have been tested and supported in my board (screenshot below)

    I have a crappy computer and I still can play Beam on 1024 x 768, lowest settings at 30-40 FPS.
    (Intel i5-4200U, GT 720M, 4GB)
