You should get similar performance in the SA without much adjustment of graphics settings. Regarding the upgrade, check if your motherboard can support an i5 3570K and look to put a great cooler on it so that you can overclock it. Graphics card will be next, but check how much current your PSU can supply on the +12V rail first as it would be a shame for you to buy an R9 290 or GTX 780 and not have enough power...

Timed log out so you won't get random killed
terminal_boy replied to Arct1ccz's topic in Suggestions
Think of preparing to logout as if your character needs to sleep. Move to a quiet spot on the map ensuring that you're not being observed. Prone surrounded by pine trees is idea. Spend a few minutes conduction a 360 degree sweep of your surrounds so that your character's not going to get jumped the moment his/her eyes shut. Logout knowing your game self is safe. -
what do you guys do when you meet zombies without weapons?
terminal_boy replied to bioned's topic in General Discussion
Sprint until they lose sight of you and then crouch-run staying out of their line if sight until they give up. -
Low-end (civilian) NV usually relies on an IR light source which is visible to high-end (military) NV from a considerable distance. Even with an IR source, using a camera as an NV device would give you very limited viewing range. Great idea, but it would need to implemented sensibly too avoid sniper duct-taping a camera onto their rifle and picking people off from hundreds of metres away at night.

PSA : Don't try to climb onto the canvas hold covers on the wrecked freighter.
terminal_boy posted a topic in General Discussion
Was looking around the wrecked freighter up the coast from Berezino for the first and did something really stupid... Saw what looked like a set of camouflaged clothing onto of one of the green canvas hold covers and hit the V key to climb up and take a closer look. Bad idea as my character fell right through the canvas cover onto the steel deck below. "You are dead..." -
is there a link that has all the signs labeled and explained?
terminal_boy replied to bioned's topic in General Discussion
Or you could just learn a couple of dozen place names. -

Just my messages and server restart warnings please. -
What to expect from the Ruger 10/22
terminal_boy replied to JalapaJuiceJerry's topic in General Discussion
I meant in real life. A number of US Law a Enforcement agencies had to withdraw the P90 from service with their SWAT teams as the poor terminal ballistics meant that officers were having to fire 5-10 round bursts to achieve the same effect as a single round from a 5.56mm carbine. -
What to expect from the Ruger 10/22
terminal_boy replied to JalapaJuiceJerry's topic in General Discussion
Do you .22LR fans think that an FN P90 in 5.7 x 28 is more or less lethal than a 10/22? -
Neutral safe zones that physically prevent combat

No. For the Nth time, no. -
Vehicles and how the repairing mechanic will work
terminal_boy replied to TEST_SUBJECT_83's topic in Suggestions
Engine swap requires a hoist/A-frame and a lot of time. Have you ever lifted out a large petrol or Diesel engine ? A wheelbarrow isn't going to take that weight. -
What to expect from the Ruger 10/22
terminal_boy replied to JalapaJuiceJerry's topic in General Discussion
Realistic would be that the 10/22 can kill a rabbit at 100 yards and a human/infected at 50 yards if hit in the brain. -
Can an M24 put into consideration beside the Mosin?
terminal_boy replied to mareak's topic in Suggestions
On the contrary, all the Gear Heads will be killing each other to have the M24, while I pick the wounded survivors off one by one from deep in the woods. -

terminal_boy replied to mareak's topic in Suggestions
Only 1 x M24 per SEAL Team deployed. -
What is your favorite thing to do in DayZ?
terminal_boy replied to oregonized's topic in General Discussion
I like to hide in the woods watching players run past completely unaware that they have a gun pointed at them and I could kill them any time I wanted. -
Dear Mods & Admins, Would it be possible to have a little SA sub-forum to chronicle the activities of the CCSD?
-
There are only a few rounds that can actually be chambered and fired in a gun designed to fire a different round. In each case, doing so poses a great danger to the gun and the firer.
-
Let's hope they did exactly that as the alternative is very troubling...
-
Possibility that "horde" had chased survivor out of nearest village and remained in the woods after said survivor had evaded them?
-
This. Good luck making either of the required parts without a machine shop.
-
Did you run towards the player with the axe without using comms? That will get you killed every time.

What is your opinion on this outfit?
terminal_boy replied to dannynickelov's topic in General Discussion
I hear banjos... -
I always follow the wisdom of my great grandfather (WW1) and grandfather (WW2) when it comes to trusting Germans. Only once I've shot them 5-6 times and/or bayoneted them first.

Likelihood of ITAR restricted US SoF equipment in in rural Chernarus?

How much authenticity is too much?
terminal_boy replied to LaughingJack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
The import costs would make a 10/22 very expensive compared to the "local" CZ or Baikal equivalent. Price, reliability and availability of ammunition and spares will be the key factors that any Eastern/Central European farmer or hunter considers when buy a .22LR rifle. I wouldn't need to tell Miley to behave if I saw her, as she'd be living in my basement from then on...
