    I'll build you one. :p (I actually do)
    We do need a budget though. And we need to know what you're planning on doing with it.

    That's a very good budget! Do you live in the UK or the U.S. Outside of the U.S. computer parts are slightly more expensive.

    The main items you want to spend most of your budget on is the:

    Processor
    Video card
    Power Supply
    Motherboard (mid or low end)

    Those 3 are the main parts of a gaming computer that need to be high end. The motherboard and be mid range or carefully chosen low end.

    The rest of the computer:

    Monitor
    Case
    Mouse/keyboard
    Sound Card

    Can be a little cheaper since they do not directly (most of time) affect frame rate.

    Why?
    The Processor, video card and power supply is 99% of the power house of your PC, for example I have a pretty expensive gaming PC I upgraded over the years, each part is pretty much high end and get high frame rates in games, if I switched the Processor, Video Card and Power supply from my system into a system that had a low end Mother board, monitor, case, sound card etc. my game frame rate would be the same.

    This is what you should get:

    Processor: Intel i5 4670k
    Video card: 780 ti or 980
    Powersupply: any 80 plus rated 700w to 100w Powersupply

    The rest of the system should cost you no more than 400 bucks don't go for the glamor get low end cheap looking stuff unless you want a very high end screen go no less than 4k (currently prices as low as $549 on the Internet or Microcenter.com) or go 3k (prices as low as $349 on the Internet or Microcenter.com) or decent 1080p prices as low as $80 on Internet.

    @above, don't even need a soundcard, thats how little difference they make. The one on the motherboard usually does the job just fine.

    No, no, no. You don't buy a low-end i5. You just don't.

    OT:
    i5 4690K
    EVGA 970 SSC
    Asus Z97-Pro or Maximus VII Hero (not that much better, but it's red :p)
    Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, on that budget you can easily afford 16 GB

    Right now I'm running an i5-3570k and a gtx 780 with as rock extreme4 z77. I would recommend a haswell i5 (ex i5-4570k) or i7. You already have a graphics card so I won't include that. Go for a motherboard by gigabyte, asrock, or Asus, and make sure it can seat the CPU you get. For a PSU get maybe a 700w unless you sli, if you sli get a 800w. Good PSU brands are corsair, seasonic. I would go with 8gb or 16gb of ram. Good brands are corsair dominator series, g skill ripjaws and ripjaws x.

    In this game, the more cores in your CPU means the more cars you can have at once and less lag as it runs all the physics calculations on the CPU.

    more cores != more performance, only means more vehicles at a time, high single threaded performance is what you want for beamng

    I'm assuming you meant a 1000W power supply.

    PNY 780? Nah. An EVGA 970 SSC ACX 2.0 is much better for the same price.

    With a $1600 budget you might as well get a much better one like a 970 or 980.

    He said "I will have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 780", that doesn't mean he has a GTX 780. Also he hasn't replied to this tread since he gave a budget, and he made a new thread with parts already picked out. Will-beam-ng-work-for-this-pc
