The game resolution in a window will say that. 1920x1080 less a Windows taskbar is about that.
most all monitors can do 720p, the problem lies within your video driver needing an over/underscan setting so that is displays the resolution properly in the center of the screen, so it's not cut-off. My 40" screen (which is a TV) needs a bit of overscan/underscan adjustment to fit the screen properly or I lose about a ¼-½ inch of screen on each side behind the bezel (frame of screen).
You can always move your UI a bit but it won't help with the left-side menu.
This is a crapshoot but it just might work, if what you're telling me is the edges of your display are cut off:
Go into display options and set your display settings for the same 720p res you use in the game.
Right click on your red radeon button on your taskbar, click on RADEON SETTINGS.
Go and find the DISPLAY icon and click it inside the app. Select HDMI scaling, and move the slider so that you can see everything. This is with a rather recent driver, so hopefully yours will be somewhat simpler.
If your not using HDMI-out then look for overscan/underscan settings.
If yours doesn't match 100% look up the help on the driver help links.
Or you can just look for overscan/underscan settings yourself.
If someone can help clarify this, please do! My instructions could use some improvement. Also, 5xxx series is Legacy hardware now, and is not supported by the latest driver releases (so it may be a little different).
Settings instructions apply to Radeon Crimson driver, older drivers may differ slightly, but are fundamentally similar.
Use your brain here if needed Sorry I couldn't be more precise, I don't have a bunch of older systems running next to me like I used to, to help with older configs (they're being used a monitor stands right now - amd FX 6300 hexacore monitor stand ftw).
When and if you get your 720p resolution tweaked, you will be able to close that Radeon settings out, and go back to your desktop, and change your display resolution back to 1080p or whatever you're normally running at.
*My instructions would be more clear but I'm quite disabled due to a migraine today. Don't get migraines, they suck.

If that seems to long, you can automate it with a .Bat file. It's not hard, but takes research.

How well does i5-7600K run mutliple cars? Or how many cars you can have without fps dropping under 30?

Nevermind, looks like in order to play Beamng, I must build my own CPU. In all of my sparetime!

I will admit, I am a complete noob when it comes to PC Gaming and knowing what is hot in the Tech market and what is outdated (because unlike all of you, I actually have a life ), and I get what you are all trying to say.

Build, Build, Build...HP Sucks...Don't buy from Walmart...

I'll look into it, maybe someone I know can help out

Sorry for a bit of a late response, but if you don't know how to build a PC, or are afraid to build one yourself, check out https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme/
