Bmg cpu

[Mii Cube]

My friend wants help with building a pc and plays bmg, I've heard it's more CPU intensive, is it better for more cores or faster cores , if so any recommendations, (total budget he sent is £2k)

You mean BeamNG? That game is a thread eater so you'll want lots of cores/threads. You'd probably want AMD Ryzen since it's more mutithread oriented as compared to Intel on desktop.

A Ryzen 5 5600X would be a good place to start, considering your budget you could probably go for a beefier cpu.
You'd still want a decent gpu, while it's not a heavily graphically demanding game, a card on the same level as a 1050 won't allow for maxed out settings without having to take an fps hit, and BeamNG gets very unplayable once you are in sub 20fps territory due to input lag.
Something speced out similar to my system can handle the game quite well with most of my setting maxed out except for dynamic reflections ( I find there's only so far that's really worth pushing) and a decent amount of ai traffic and parked cars on screen with simplified physics.
