are you going to be overclocking? if so you might get an aftermarket cpu cooler instead of the stock cooler, i as well as pretty much the rest of all the internet recommends the CM hyper 212 evo, only about $25-$35, and has very very good cooling performance (best price/performance aftermarket cpu cooler in terms of air cooling)

Looks like the i7 2630QM has a similar performance to the CPU mentioned by you.
Looking at my database of benchmark results I'd say it's certainly not the best CPU for BeamNG.

Have a look:

(imported from here)

This translates to roughly one Pickup @30 FPS and about 4 Pickups @20 FPS.
Other cars are more complex and will therefore yield worse results.
