    Okay, I have completely redone this post and am now asking if you can give me options for parts of a computer ( am fine with building it) for $1000 (have to wait to earn the money first) or less that will run beamng at 45-60 fps on normal-high.

    Information up there is useless, just bought a computer that should wprk prety whell. Should come sometime nxt week.

    You wont be able to get anything prebuilt for $700 that will run BeamNG overly well.

    Build it, don't wuss out. It is easy to do it, and it is a lot easier than it looks. Just please, do not buy Alienware.

    I would forget about the integrated GPU series of CPUs and just get an FX-6300 ( 6 core CPU with 14 MB of cache ) and a separate GPU, BUT you don't wanna build your own computer, so I don't know if you can find something like that prebuilt.

    The specs you have listed aren't horrible though and would probably run the game on normal settings at 1280x720. The power supply is kinda weak though.

    I checked through Newegg's prebuilt PC's and narrowed down to what I thought would best suit your needs and budget and it came down to this one here. Looked like the best combination of AMD CPU and discrete GPU that would fit your budget. I had to check benchmarks on the GPU's as I do not know the Radeons all that well and it seemed that the Nvidia GTX 650 edges out the Radeon R7 250 by a slight bit. If you are looking to game on the price you said without having to put anything together your self this looked like the best option for you. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227531

    - - - Updated - - -

    Just did a double check and yeah this one definitely matches or exceeds what you posted in every category that I see and still sits under you $700 budget mark so if you were going to order the above this would be a better deal for you.

    Without a graphics card that power supply is perfectly fine, hence it would even support some 100-150 watts graphics card e.g. AMD 7870 / R9 270X

    400 watt in the link I posted, little on the lean side but it should do. I myself have become power supply paranoid as of late on my pc. Running two GTX560 Ti448 in SLI and over clocking those and my Athlon Quad core was bad, still have the hole cut out on the top of my case with the power supply fan from the second power supply I was running. :)

    My vote's in for this system if you must go prebuilt.

    That iBUYPOWER pc is really good for the price. You will not do better for the price. And then you would get warranty through iBuy as well. So overall it is a lot better.

    As a I.T. Professionnal I would recommend that kind of stuff :
    http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-8700/pd?oc=fdcwgp1310&model_id=xps-8700

    Is is a good starting point and will be as fast as you want later with a more powerfull videocard. In any case, BeamNG only need a good i5 or i7, and is enjoyable with a Intel HD4000 (I've tried), so the GeForce635 which came with the Dell will be enough considering the cash you want to spend. But as the other already said, you could use some friend and build a war machine from scratch with this kind of money. Take a look at tomshardware.com to get some idea about the right stuff to buy..

    As for the Newegg's AMD suggested.. feel like kid's stuff to me, my (IT) opinion.

    Have this exact setup. When running on integrated GPU, youll be lucky to get low settings. Dont wuss out on the graphics card.

    I would personally reccomend that Athlon x4 760k and an evga gtx 760 or 770.

    Well, if you live in USA or Canada, try to check Cyberpower. Or if you're in the UK, try CyberpowerUK. If you're in Europe, try either Maingear or Digital Storm. I've only heard good things about those sites, and they do prebuilts. (Cyberpower does both Desktops and laptops)

    Yeah I would just build your own. In fact, I have a very good condition AMD FX 4170 that ran the game very well. I would be willing to sell it for the right price.

    Dude, my personal rig (link in sig) is pretty good for $600. It will run Beam at 45-60 FPS on Low-Normal @ 1280x1024, but you can lower those settings for a higher res, and the race update will help with the intensiveness of the physics on the CPU, and the GPU can get used more with OpenCL.

    and exactly what kind of I.T. recommends a dell of all prebuilt brands?, also, that geforce in the dell you linked, will perform far worse than the gpu in the amd rig from newegg, seriously, what kind of I.T. are you? your recommendations aren't good at all, compared to the amd rig on newegg already posted
