    Been looking through computers from Newegg and Amazon for a decent gaming computer to use for BeamNG and other games and i've been trying to choose between a few of them so I need some help deciding on which would be best for BeamNG. Trying to find a computer no more than $700. And i'd really prefer not to build one. So a few computers im looking at:

    SkyTech Archangel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M68OOTY?psc=1

    iBuyPower: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227693

    Also, If you guys could help me look at either Newegg or Amazon for a good pre-built computer thats $700 dollars or less i'd really appreciate it, unless one of these is good enough. I just really can't make the decision. Thanks.

    After thinking about it i'll probably just go ahead and build my own computer since it seems like it would be the best choice. So I'm looking for advice on what i should buy for a good $600-$700 computer.

    Someone suggested this for me: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DYMFpb

    Would that be good for BeamNG?

    You should wait. You'll be able to get a much better CPU for a similar price within the next couple weeks, due to the release of AMD Ryzen CPUs.

    As far as just playing BeamNG, will the items i've listed in my 2nd post be good enough you think?

    You'll be able to get better. It's good enough, but there will be much better options very soon

    on Pc Part Picker, at the bottom, it says
    • Thermaltake Versa N21 ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers.
    Idk if this is a big problem or not, is it?

    just means no USB 3 front panel ports, wait for AMD Zen, and get the AM4 socket motherboard.

    Wait for Ryzen or go intel, current AMD processors are pretty horrible
