Same as myself. Read about DayZ a few weeks ago and actually saved up, researched gpus, cpus etc.. and built my own gaming pc to play it. Been playing it the last two days, well practicing since im new to mouse and keyboard as well but getting the hang of it and really really liking it. As a console gamer, PS3, im finding the change to pc gaming very nice, especially the graphics and mods. Steam is a great service too and ive got some great bargains during the recent sale i.e Combined Operations for €7.49. I had a great but harsh experience today, was doing my best, about an hour in, server was seemingly full of friendly guys flying a chopper, getting better at sneaking by zombies, got to a barn, got myself a Enfield, heard some shooting outside, guy runs in followed by loads of zombies, i decide to help him out. After all the shooting, i look over to see him and bam he shoots me. Turns out he thought i was going to shoot him. Either way, the harsh brutality of this game kicked in and, as frustrating as it was to die after doing so well (relatively), i loved it. Long story short, im OcelotRigz on Steam. Feel free to add me on there.
