i'm trying to build my first gaming computer right now and im having trouble finding a good motherboard right. can you help me please? so im going with the intel i5-2500k so im trying to find a mother board that has at least 1 3.0 pci express x16 port and 4 slots to hold ddr3 ram. thanks!

i looked both of those up and the asus p8p67 had some problems with others but the asrock looks good so im probably going to stick to that

hopefully around 100 give or take $20. i just want to play dayz soooooooooooooooooo badly. hope fully 2 3.0 pci express ports not just 2 that run at x8 or only one can run at 16x

im building a computer right now and so far i have decided on these three things motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-v pro/GEN3 Intel Z68 graphics card: radeon HD 7770 processor: intel i5-2500k i havent decided on ram yet if i get 12gb of ram will i be able to run dayz/arma ii on high settings? what's viewing distance in this game? is it a setting?

first, sorry if i am in the wrong topic. im new so i don't really know where to put this. so if an admin sees this please move it to the right one. thanks! so i'm building my first pc and i have made a decision to go with the intel i5-2500k and overclock it to 4.5ghz im just wondering if this will handle day z on high settings not the highest but enough to look really nice. i have been searching around for this answer on the interwebs and couldn't really find an answer. while i was searching for this answer i ran upon some one saying the human can't process more than 40fps or something along those lines. im just wondering if this is true. i also hear about these viewing distances for arma ii. can someone explain these? do you set that in the settings or is it just everything being rendered while looking really far. one more thing. if i just want to play with say 4 friends how would we do that?

unless you guys think using the intel max turbo technology to boost it to 3.7 ghz is enough to run day z on high. i just though of this question too. when dayz goes stand alone do you think the coding will be better so it won't use as much cpu power?

i would have a Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60 sitting on it? is that enough or should i get a bigger cpu cooler? how do i rent a server for dayz and whitelist it? also, what is whitelisting?
