    That's strange. That computer should be plenty powerful enough to play BeamNG. What graphics settings are you using?

    If there are any, try turning them off. As for any upgrades, you can't get any third gen Intel processors newer then the one you have.
    And unless the motherboard is broken, I would just leave it.

    I would suggest looking for a new GPU.

    i would look ways of
    speeding up your computer
    that doesn't involve overclocking it
    such as getting rid of any bloat ware
    and updating the GPU to the latest drivers
    as well as updating windows

    It's a 3rd generation processor, and Intel didn't make any newer CPUs for that generation.

    They have made new CPUs since then, but none that would work with your computer.
