Hey guys! I never built a pc from scratch before. I decided to build a computer with these specifications Cpu Intel core i5 6600 Motherboard Msi h110m pro vd Psu seasonic s1211-520 Gpu gtx 645 1gb Ram 1x8gb ddr4 2133 mhz(I dont know what make, at cex they give you a random one) Case Thermaltake versa h23 The cpu, ram are used. Psu, motherboard, case are new. I already have the gpu.might upgrade in future. I was hoping you might be able to tell me if this is any good? Will it be able to run a large truck in beamng at 60 fps and maybe a couple of cars? Thanks
On mid settings I think yes, but maybe not in West Coast. I suggest you to upgrade that GPU soon because it's very old and it doesn't support new features and that 1Gb of VRAM is a bottleneck
Thanks for the reply! Yeah im not really worried about graphics, more about physics. Would it run a bunch of cars? Also, would the psu be overkill? Its 520w
No the psu wouldn't be overkill for that system. It may be a lot, but it just means whenever you get a new gpu you wouldn't have to upgrade the psu as well. The cpu on the other hand, I personally would get the "k" cpus. I had an i5 7600 one above you and it bottle necked my 970 on multiple games. It ran beam fine, but multiple cars spawned it - it started to slow down my system. Now I have the i5 8600k, it runs amazingly with 10+ cars spawn and still above 60+fps. Before I had 30-25fps with the 7600. The cpu you have will work, you'll get more than 60fps depending on your settings. I would recommend an better cpu than the 6600, but the 6600 will run the game fine as long as you don't spawn too many cars.
You may want to save your money for a little while and get a better graphics card like a gtx 1050 or a used gtx 970, which would balance out the system and give you a well performing pc for all occaisions.
What's your budget? Because this build is kind of a trashy one. The cpu is too strong for the gpu and so on.
Hello world! This PC has come to life, i was extremely careful when putting all the parts together and surprisingly there were no weird noises, smells or smoke made the PC when I turned the power switch on. Happy days! I am well aware the GPU won't play any game max settings 4k except for PAC man but it's fine for my needs. I just had it from before. Also, I'm able to spawn a car and it's like 300 fps! Is that normal? Even after spawning like another 10 it's still smooth. I'm just wondering because I don't know.
BeamNG is a very CPU-dependent game, unlike most. The i5-6600 will run it well. However, you will need a better GPU soon.
Press ctrl-f to see FPS, I doubt there being 300 It is like half way between 1050Ti and Skylake iGPU so that is not going to run game really fast, certainly not with 10 cars and no matter what GPU with I5 you don't run over 10 cars that smooth, however it probably is much smoother than what you had before and I'm happy upgrade is giving you much of enjoyment with BeamNG!: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-645-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti/m8982vs3649
That graphics card, as others have mentioned, is terrible. You may see decent performance in BeamNG, but you'll be ridiculously GPU bottlenecked in any other game.
