How well will it run?

So, I have a pretty bad laptop, can't find exact specs, all I know is that it has an Intel core i3, and that's it. It runs the tech demo, but it is pretty laggy, although I was told it would be laggy no matter what. Basically what I am asking, should I buy BeamNG?

 

GPU?
but laptop i3 No don't buy beam if gridmap techdemo is laggy

 

my mom have a i3 and nvidia grapics it run decend its from 2012 ? my macbook from mid 2009 runs itverry decend

 

yes but you also claimed 12fps was fine, its not

 

my macbook is runniong at 13.5 its fine for me but the i3 ran about 17 to max 27 fps its playabole but not great

 

generally people (and we're talking like 90% or more here) consider 30 the minimum for playable.

 

maby its bc iam blind at 1 eye that i see this as playabole but it doesnt matter itf for travel great

 

Ok, so basically upgrade to a stronger pc, then buy it? I can try to check the GPU in a bit as well.

 

Don't buy prebuilt. Build it yourself. @BlueScreen's Computer building guide is a very good place to start.

 

The thing is, I don't have the money nor time to build a pc, I would love too, however. Do you have any prebuilt suggestions?

 

I think prebuilt is more expensive than a hand made built. And Building a pc doesn't take that much time.

 

Dont have money is counter intuitive as its cheaper than a pre built

 

The thing is, I don't have that much knowledge when it comes to building PC's either, I also don't need a PC with an equivalent with an alien ware area 51.

 

That is okay. PC's are actually really easy to build. You just have to be careful.

What?

 

I also have the same problem not a good enough computer. buuut i found 2 great deals that are worth what you pay for them as you can not build them without spending more money here is the address just copy and past into your searchbar

this computer should be sufficient for most games and has slots to upgrade the RAM.
the only downside is u have to buy a network adaptor or an ethernet cable.
if you are willing to spend more money than this reply and i will give you the other link

 

then watch youtube videos on how to build a pc

 

No. It's terrible. Absolutely atrocious. OP do not buy that PC. I will explain why if need be. Also, buying an ethernet cable is a downside? No. It's faster than wifi.
These two build options: i3-6100 with an R9 380 or this i5-6400 with an R7-370 are much better choices.

 

It's really easy, just look up some tutorials on Youtube.

Here's a balanced $500 build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/bluescreen1985/saved/nN8p99
Also go to the first link in my signature for tips on what to buy.

That is absolutely terrible. The FX is a bad CPU. And it's got no GPU. The integrated graphics in an AM3 board can't run HL2 - a 12 year old game - at a playable framerate, modern games won't even start.

For $500 you can get something much much better.

 

If you dont want to build a PC by urself, you can ask staff from a SMALL store selling PC parts to build it for you. Never ever buy from chain stores. NEVER

 

Okay, thanks guys for the help, BlueScreen, I might message you in the near future for some more advice, but beyond that, thank you.
