    Hello! I am trying to build a good PC that can run BeamNG.Drive at 45-60 FPS. What would you guys recommend for parts? I plan on using an EVGA GeForve GTX 1050Ti 4GB. Would that work as a video card? I also would like to keep the price tag below $200.00. I currently need a power supply, case, CPU, CPU cooling system, memory, storage, power, optical drive, operating system, software, and monitor.

    My specs run Beam at 50+ FPS most of the time.

    Core i5-6500 (the stock cooler works just fine for me)
    8 GB DDR4-2133 (for most maps 8 GB is enough but for large maps you definitely need 16)
    4 GB MSI R9 380 OC (was about $220 when I built my PC a year or so ago)
    250 GB Crucial BX100 (don't get the BX200, it's so much slower; the BX100 isn't made anymore, you'll have to look around for them)
    1 TB WD Blue
    Windows 10 Home (for games it's well optimized, for everything else I prefer 7)
    EVGA 500 or 600W power supply (I don't remember off the top of my head which it is)
    Black and blue NZXT S340
    Gigabyte H170-Gaming 3

    External USB optical drive (who really even uses them these days except when installing Windows and maybe an ethernet driver to get updated drivers)
    I use an Acer KN242HYL, 24" 1080p monitor, good for gaming, great for the price (was on sale on Newegg for $99 when I got it, it's normally a little under $150)

    Look around for good deals, my PC was about $700 total, may cost between $700 and $750 depending on the prices at the time.

    Some part of me doesn't want to risk building my own pc, is there a good prebuilt for 7-800$ for beam?

    Feel free to buy one, but you'll get much more performance and bang for your buck if you choose your own parts, and you'll likely save money too. If you're careful while building your PC it will work just fine. Even an idiot like me can do it :p

    But there's always the chance of something going wrong, like a power surge or something.

    somewhat offtopic, I would be interested to see how well this would run on a phone processor.

    It probably wouldn't run at all.

    Yeah I think you better start saving those cents because $200 wont get you anywhere, you can start looking in at $700 to $800 for a starters

    That's not true, I built mine for 400 bucks and it runs (almost) max settings with 3 t series at 60fps.
