    So I thought I would share the computer I recently build. This thing isn't meant to be pretty, but the price/performance ratio is amazing. At 1080p high settings, I get a steady 60 FPS on maps like East Coast USA. All the parts were either bought used off of ebay, or were lying around in my closet. It's a pretty unconventional build, and I wanted to share how I built a powerful gaming PC for super cheap. IMAG1537.jpg IMAG1538.jpg IMAG1534.jpg .

    CPU: Intel Xeon X5650, overclocked to 3.8GHZ: $62
    Motherboard: Intel DX58SO: $120
    RAM: 6GB Corsair XMS3, overclocked to 1650MHZ: Came with motherboard
    GPU: EVGA GTX 770, overclocked to 1293MHZ: $128
    Power supply: Corsair CX750: $45
    SSD: Corsair force 60GB: $20
    Hard drive: 500gb 5400 RPM: free
    Case and fans: random parts I had lying around.

    Nice! Definitely a score on those parts, and you can run BNG well! Win win in my book.

    You mean Cinebench scores? It comes in at 790, for comparison, the i7-4770k has a score of 822.

    Wow, this is cool! Now all we need is a BeamOS that is just for BeamNG, ATS, ETS2, RoR, etc. :rolleyes:

    Open-source Debian platforms and mad programming skillz are what you need in that case.
    Do you even remeber this post you wrote almost a week ago? :p
