    Well, if you do really want to build one, I can make a list of the parts I would buy (I need more than a few minutes obviously) I just need a budget and I can give you a rough ideia off what you need :eek:

    Meanwhile my laptop has got 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a AMD Turion x2 @2.2GHz CPU (don't let the higher frequency fool you, it sucks hahaha) and still runs pretty smoothly opening and closing browsers and windows, just don't try to play a game......

    keyboard: corsair K70
    Mouse: Razer Lachesis (i love this thing, fits perfectly for big hands)
    Headset: Turtle Beach z22 (only sound works thanks to Microsofts shitty drivers)

    The CPU score in the passmark is not correct (it was as high as 4,5 Ghz when i ran the test).

    Re: What computer do you have?

    I use Euros cuz I live in Portugal but i will quickly use a converter and give you some guidelines xD
    So:
    An Entry Level computer I consider to be around £500 with everything, including Windows, more than fine for BeamNG on medium/high I would bet.
    The Sweet Spot I would say it's around £800 making it already a pretty fine computer, once again, Windows included.
    A Enthusiast computer is something around £1200 (about what mine as worth when i bought it with all the extra parts and etc.)
    A Top of the Line machine would be around £2000, with everything you could ever imagine hahaha.

    Those are my standards :)

    Re: What does everone have under the hood?

    In USD I consider $500 to be bare bones, $800 is fair, $1200 will be awesome, $2000 is top-of-the-line, $3000+ is multi-monitor crazy. If I could build with no budget I had a parts list for a $5000 gaming PC along with a $60,000 compute station.

    Multi monitor crazy? My system was less than 500 bucks and has two widescreen monitors.

    Doesn't mean it can actually drive those screens (Or 2 1080p ones) in Crysis 3 maxed out for example...

    i never got a computer especially for this type of thing but, here you go:

    windows 8 64-bit toshiba satelliite C855 (non touch screen) with intel core I3. i have to turn all the settings down exept for texture quality (i think).

    I don't really game on both screens but my system doesn't have any issues with BF4 on high settings. (Textures on ultra.)

    Peripherals:

    I'm not saying your computer is bad, it's a damn fine computer o:
    All I'm saying is that what he meant with 'multi-monitor crazy' as a PC that was capable for driving 2-3 screens in all games maxed out...
    Also, Battlefield 4 looks good but it's not that intensive and only gets quite intensive with everything on Ultra.
