I'm Looking For A Gaming PC For $720.00

I'm looking for a decent gaming computer that will run BeamNG with 30FPS or more. It has to be under $720.00 max with a monitor. I would also like something I could get immediately without a long waiting period, any ideas?

 

I understand you want it ASAP, but you could get a LOOOT more out of your money if you built it yourself.

 

I got my gaming pc from cyberpower, they have a very low and reasonable prices and have a great customer service. You pick the components that you prefer and adjust the price that way. I got my pc with a amd vishera hexa core 3.5 ghz, gtx 950 2gb grddr5, 1tb hdd, adata 4gb ddr3 xpg v3, watercooled by a asetek 550lc 120mm watercooler for $708. pretty good for the price runs gta 5 pretty well.

I spend some time and found some hardware for your budget and I think it will be sufficient to get 30FPS in BNG.drive

Monitor:

I wouldn't recommend an AMD FX-4300.
Get something with an Intel Pentium G3258, desktop-class i3 4xxx or faster.
They all use the same socket so upgrading to an i5 or i7 in the future is possible.
GPU-wise, an R7 250 is already enough. I played it on my workstation with an R7 240 and it easily gets 45-60 fps on low settings.
It's the CPU that counts a lot.
Also, it is more likely that you'll upgrade the GPU than the CPU in the future.

Edit: An i3 4130 or equivalent and a GTX 750 Ti 2 GB would be the best option imho. Don't know if you can get that for ~600$

 

@Zorin-Ind.
I looked at the fact for searching only for Intel CPU's, but you can't get one for the money with a monitor^^
He will get 30FPS I think...When he also will use this PC for other games, the FX4300 is not that bad.

I only found a Steam Machine with an i5, 8GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GTX card:

But there is the problem that you don't get windows included and you can't upgrade the GPU

 

Well, 600$ will surely get you a PC with an Intel i3.. i3 = 130$, GTX 750 Ti is 130$. 340$ will definitely get you a decent MoBo, PSU and case.
If it's not a prebuilt machine, maybe even an i5 could be possible for that budget.
i5 4460 190$ or so
GTX 750 Ti 130$
MoBo 90$ for a decent one.
PSU 70$ for a decent one.
Case 70$ for a decent one.
50$ for hdmi/dvi cable, extra fans, delivery fees and other stuff

600$

Leaves 120$ for a nice monitor.

 

@Zorin-Ind.
I agree with you that it is possible to get all the better hardware for about 600 bucks when he would build his computer on his own, but from his question I guess he can't build one. So he wanna buy a complete system and of curse than there is no good bang for the buck compared to a self-build pc.

 

Nonononononononono.

NEVER. BUY. PRE. BUILT.

That's awful.
For $700 you can get an i5 and a GTX 960 4GB if you build it yourself.

Nope. You can get much better for $600.

$620, i5 and R9 380. Get a used 1080p monitor, buy Windows for cheap on /r/microsoftsoftwareswap, you got a hell of a rig for $750.

 

One thousand times this. Unless there is a reason which dictates that you ABSOLUTELY MUST receive it immediately, just wait and build it yourself. The wait might seem tedious, but time flies and it is well worth it. The price/performance ratio is much better and you get the inherent satisfaction of having built your own computer. This machine will run Beam (or any game, for that matter) exponentially better than a prebuilt.

If your area of concern is that you simply don't know how, there are plenty of communities which would happily help you out. Even this forum has a good group of knowledgable users that know their stuff.

 

I disagree on this. I have neither the time, talent, nor desire to mess around with building my own PC. A couple months ago I bought a pre-built HP for $746 that runs BeamNG at 60fps high settings all day long:

•16GB DDR4-2133 DIMM (2x8GB) RAM
•2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6G Hard Drive
•4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
•6th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K processor quad-core [4.0GHz, 8MB Shared Cache]

Maybe, just maybe I could have shopped around for a few months and messed around with rebates to build this machine for a similar price.

I found my machine through Slickdeals:

http://slickdeals.net/f/8281963-hp-envy-750se-desktop-i7-6700k-2tb-hdd-16gb-ddr4-4gb-gtx-970-win-7-pro-954-free-shipping

They seem to do a promo like this every couple of months. I've seen similar deals from Dell. My cost was 909.99 minus 18% rebate from ebates = $746. Also HP gave me $80 credit for a shipping delay which brought my final cost to $666. Try building that same machine for that price, can't do it. I added a $75 SSD and it's a pretty nice machine.

 

You got a great deal. 99% of pre builts are crap.

And even if the hardware is good you get usually bad cooling (especially in sff pcs) and worse build quality than if you built it yourself.

Which by the way takes no longer than 30 minutes and is really easy.

 

Sure, as with anything you should do some research and shopping around before buying a pre-built, but I think it can be the best option for many people. It was for me.

 

Yeah, I didn't check any prices.
R9 380 is a great choice.
