    Ok fellas, I am sure this rig or something similar has already been asked but here is the one I am getting.

    • CPU- AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor
    • MOBO- ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
    • GPU- SAPPHIRE 100354OC-2L Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
    • RAM- CORSAIR XMS 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
    • CASE- COUGAR Spike Black Steel / Plastic MicroATX Mini Tower Gaming Case with USB 3.0 and 12CM Cougar Fan
    • CASE- COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
    • HDD- 7200 RPM 500 GB

    So that is what I am getting. How do you think it will run DayZ, Arma 2, and Arma 3. FPS at Very High settings? Does everything look compatible? Is the PSU adequate? Will a stock CPU fan keep the CPU cool enough?

    Thanks for your time fellas!

    These are some of the best Ideas I have seen for the standalone. I really like the idea of more gathering of resources like with a bow and arrow, I also like the Idea of getting really geared up a long drawn out challenge so people have a real reason to not die. Awesome job!

    Howdy, I first want to start by saying; it looks like you have a really well established youtube channel, it looks organized, and proper. Next I wanted to say I am interested in playing dayZ with you and a small group. I have been looking for a small group of reliable people to play with who take dayZ seriously but also do like to have fun while walking from town to town. I will tell you a bit about myself; I am 16 years old and from central United States. I do partake in other activities other than computer such as Football, Hunting, Fishing, and Working, so I may not be available at ALL times. I usually play dayZ as a Hero, and enoy making what I call my "Mechanics Shop", Basically I hoard vehicles and parts. I have a good microphone and headset. So if you are interested or would like to learn more about me add me on skype: k.c.strain

    Thanks!

    Are you still looking for more players? I am interested, I have been playing dayZ since early december of 2012. I live in central U.S.A and am looking for some mature guys to play with. If you would like send me a PM and we can chat.

    PS: I also enjoy playing tactically, and I have good communication skills.

    Hello, I am starting a small dayZ/Arma tactical realism squad, this is going to be a small squad of a max of 8 players. I already have two or three friends who play but I am not counting them. To start I will start with the name what the name means is *Special Forces Operational Detachment- DayZ Vigilantes* To start I will tell you what the goal of this squad is (If you have not already figured out because of the name) We are not bandits, we only kill for two reasons 1. Yourself or one of the squad members are threatend or 2. We see a bandit. So if you are the type of person who camps stary or the NWA just to rack up kills with an AS50 then do not bother applying. The goal of SFOD-DV is to build large camps/bases and hoard supplies, vehicles, and weapons. We will be trying to make whatever dayZ map we are playing on a better place for everybody except bandits, hence the name DayZ Vigilantes. Here are some requirments:

    Requirements:

    1. You must be 16 years old and mature! No exceptions sorry kids, but this is a mature squad.

    2. You must play or have the ability to play tacticaly. By this I mean handiling situations such as an ambush or bandit ecounter professionally and logically. I have played with a kids before where when they start getting shot to hell in the middle of an open field all they did was lie down, roll and say repeatedly "I'm about to get fucked". Instead of running for the nearest tactical cover or nole, and calling direction of heat for people who were not getting shot at to lay down suppressive fire on the hostiles.

    3. You have to be able to stick to your role (I will cover roles later) Ex. If you are the packmule you cant be doing risky buisness because you may die with a large majority of our food and water.

    4. You have to be able to play slow and carefully. By this I mean the squad does not sprint from town to town just to loot as fast as possible and we always have snipers covering and scouting towns before the rest of the squad goes in, we don't just run in as if we have a death wish We scout and prep and get shooters and medics in position first.

    5. You must have a basic understanding of dayZ you do not have to have been playing for a certain amount of time. Just know what you are doing.

    6. Must have a skype and speak english.

    7. Must be able to have fun, and joke to some extent. After all this is only a game.

    Now I will explain the roles.

    Roles:

    Expendable x1: This is not the safest role, but a very very important one, to do this role I suggest a good computer because stuff happens fast and you may need to do some quick spotting. You should also be a quick thinker and smart. Your jobs consist of taking point while traveling and drawing fire. If we need a flanker you may also be chosen for that aswell. You may also be navigating.

    Rifleman x2: We currently only need 2 basic rifleman, this role will carry somthing such as a M4a3 SOPMOD or Other assault rifle. This role will be going in on loot runs and doing medium-close range engagments.

    Machine Gunner x1: We currently only need one this role will cary a light machine gun and travel in the back of the squad to give suppressing and pinn people up for flanking you may also act as a Rifleman in cases.

    Marksman x1: This role is tough you have to be good at what you do, which is snipe. You will be giving overwatch on towns and taking on long range engagments. You have to understand mil dots and be accurate ranges up to and beyond 1000 meters.

    Packmule/Spotter x1: This person always gets the biggest backpack first. He carries extra food and drink as well and vehicle parts and other guns. He also has the job of being a spotter for the sniper and ranging for him as well as calling his shots. You will ideally be carrying a acog weapon.

    Medic x1: We need 1 medic, this is a quite safe job because you will be hanging out with the machine gunner a little behind the battle. but strategically and quickly moving ahead if things go south. You will be carrying blood bags, epi-pens, extra bandages and extra morphine.

    I know this is starting to become a big squad, but I know not all people will be on always when some people want to play, so I want to make sure there is always a few people on for people to play with.

    Application Form:

    Age:

Feel free to ask any questions you need this is not some big clan this is just a organized squad of people who are looking to play tactically and have fun.

    Ok so right now When I play dayZ I get 10-24 fps. It really all depends on where im at on the map, how many people are on and whats happening around me (Its even worse when I play Wasteland for Arma) But I think my computer is pretty good Heres my specs

    Acer Aspire X1420G

    Amd Athlon II X4 645 procceser 3.10 GHz

    Ram: 4 Gb

    64 bit windows 7

    Graphics Card: Nvidea GeForce 9500 gt

    I was wonder what needs upgrading so I can run Arma/DayZ better. I would like to get a stable FPS where it rarely drops below 20 FPS and still not have the settings on Low but medium high. Also what type/model of parts do you recomend... Thanks Everyone
