    Okay, so I have recently been wanting to get beamNG but my laptop doesn't run it (what a surprise lol) so I've been looking into PC's that can run this at a reasonable frame rate and at medium to high graphics but I don't know what to get. This is one I'm interested in but don't know if it'll rUn this: iBuyPowere WA560G Gaming Desktop PC with AMD FX-6300 Quad-Core processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB HD, and Windows 10 Home
    And if this doesn't work, what is the cheapest PC I can buy to run this game at a reasonable frame rate and medium to high graphics?

    Thanks!

    Not on a graphics card so weak that its actually a downgrade over intel integrated graphics in some cases

    Nah, it mentions an awful Nvidia one instead. You'd need both a more powerful processor (intel) and Graphics card to comfortably run BeamNG. Also, don't bother with a prebuilt as they're normally overpriced and underperform.

    Ok, so what is the cheapest price that I can build a pc. I may have an old tower to work on, just need some prices. I really don't want to spend a fortune on this. Just want a pc that can run this game at a reasonable frame rate and at reasonable graphics settings.

    If you want performance, there really isn't a cheap option. A PC that will run this and many other games at a good framerate will run you at least $800-$1200 unless you get lucky finding good parts on ebay or during a Newegg sale.

    That's even more expensive that what he said, but if you can afford it, go for it. Even their cheapest laptop ($1,400 CAD) should be acceptable, though for high settings you'll want to spend more. As mentioned, building is always cheaper.

    I saw a laptop at Walmart with 3.4 ghz processor, 8gb ram, and a gtx970m. It was at like 700USD.

    RX 470 is over 40% faster* than GTX 960. Why would you put this cooler on non overclockable Intel CPU? Box cooler is enough for it, your CPU will last long enough. That PC for that price is slow IMO.

    * Look at 8:17 - GTX 960 vs RX 470.

    This will work way better for +9$

    This is just turning into an argument about AMD vs NVIDIA.

    I'm having a FX 6350 and I can run three cars fine, no overclock.
    But if the money is there, Intel is the way to go of course.
