    Not all i7's are created equal. The good ones are about $300 alone.

    seasonic power supply, 600~750 watt is usually fine (depends how big a video card you want, if you're overclocking or not)
    Asus or Gigabyte motherboard
    i5 cpu, intel 4xxx series or higher - does not need to be K-series CPU - if you have the money, grab an i7 if you want
    16gb ram (2x8gb)
    512gb solid state drive, try to get 'MLC-based nand' drives instead of TLC-based nand, but buy what you can afford really
    Video card should be chosen based on price (least expensive to most)- Rx 460, Rx 470, Rx 480, Nvidia 1060, Nvidia 1070, and so-forth.
    If they offer a video card with less ram and one with double the memory on it, always get the one with DOUBLE the memory for the 30$ more.
    Asus DVD-RW drive - they're super handy and can load your audio CD's into your mp3 collection really fast. They last, too.

    If noise bothers you, make sure the video card you're getting is one with the larger dual-fan coolers, not a 'reference' or 'founders edition' model. You should pony up for a Hyper212 Evo cpu-cooler, as it will keep down the noise from the processor fan during gaming.

    Lastly, buy a case that will fit all the parts - and will leave you room for upgrades. Do you really need a window, or all the LEDs?
    If the case is too closed up it'll get too hot, if it's too open, it'll be very noisey, collect a lot of dust, and possibly get food or drink spilled in.
    Make sure the video card you want to buy will fit in the case you want to buy! Don't buy a monster-sized cpu cooler for a tiny case, either.

    Processor series available - ram type taken - chipset numbers *most are listed, I may have missed some*
    Intel 4xxx series pentium i3 i5 i7 DDR3 H81, B85, Z87, (H97, Z97) - brackets denote optimal choice
    Intel 5xxx series i5/i7(just skip this) DDR3 H97/Z97 other chipsets possible with bios update but not always available
    Intel 6xxx series pentium i3 i5 i7 DDR4 H107/Z107 **you may find lower end boards that take DDR3L, this is not the same as DDR3/4!
    Intel 4xxx/5xxx/6xxx i7 6-core DDR4 X99 This is top-tier workstation stuff, if you have lots of money, buy into an X99 hexacore or octacore system, it will last quite some time. This system will let you run the largest amount of simultaneous AI vehicles/opponents of all.

    Good PC case makers: Lian-Li, Fractal, NZXT, Antec, Inwin, Cooler master (sometimes, the HAF is good but gets dusty!) I really love my Fractal arc XL so I will put a motion in, that if you want a full tower, it's an awesome case, with some super-quiet fans. You hear (almost) nothing. Nothin' like sitting next to an i7 gaming rig 2 feet from my head and hearing barely-audible hum. Just enough to know it's on.
    Noisey computers can be MADDENING if you're not always gaming or you read often with the sound off. Or it can help put you to sleep at night. What's more valueble, performance and noise, or average and silent - well forget I said it because you CAN have both.

    If you get TOO many LED lights in your machine, it makes a better disco ball than a PC and you may have to shut it off to sleep at night if it's in your bedroom. Been there done that, I've also had machines that were as loud as an air handler and could levitate books/magazines.
    Build a nice, quality machine of hand-picked parts, take your time, do the research, find out what you need and if it is priced right, get it. You'll be glad you did. I demanded a high-quality high-power machine without all the snazzy led fans (though the motherboard pulses red), and without all the NOISE or whiz-bang kid stuff - you might or might not feel the same way. So good luck to you and think it through. Don't purchase on impulse, and if you get a prebuilt PC from a big box store and try to run BEAM on it (if it's not a gaming PC), you'll be SORRY.

    Don't be sorry. We want you BEAMing about how well BEAM runs on your new pc! Dont' you dare buy a laptop and expect to run Beam smooth on it, either.

    --Good luck

    Questions or comments will be answered tomorrow.

    Here's a good pc with a dedicated gpu. It won't play BeamNG on high settings, not even mine can, but you could play low-medium settings with this. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vqNRvV Just don't forget to get a monitor, keyboard, and headphones if you don't have any.

    or GPU, the RX460 isnt very good, its just about adequate for 1080p30 mid settings on most games and thats about it.

    But a high end overclockers mobo with a low end non overclockable CPU, that is a hilarious mismatch

    If your CPU is cheaper than your motherboard, you are probably doing it wrong. Except in my case where I bought an i5 3570k from ebay for $180 used and my motherboard cost $180 with shipping to Australia so yeah :p

    These are my specs minus the case. At your limit but runs at 60 with one on max and drops 5-10 per car.

    how so, they both targetted the same price bracket, the same performance bracket.

    Wow, That really is a good price. I sold my used 960 on ebay for $170 a little more than a month ago.
