I know right! Told him to get a quad core processor but he said it ran fine (30 FPS)

Believe me, the i3 isn't a half-ass processor. My friend use it with his gtx 680 on a dual monitor setup and he gets 30 fps on Battlefield 3 in Ultra :)

Thanks for all your advice! Here are the parts my gaming PC will be made up of: Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 Motherboard Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 Graphics Card PNY Optima 4GB RAM Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB Hard Drive Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W Power Supply Antec Three Hundred Case Sony DVD Burner Molex Adapter Windows 8 RC (Will later purchase Windows) Found this on youtube with a tutorial :)

BTW, are there any configs that could make DayZ playable on a NVIDIA ION 2 Graphics card, 6GB DDR3 RAM, and a Intel Atom D525 1.84Ghz Dual core Processor?

Could I still use an i3?

I am actually tech savy :) I'm now thinking of building a gaming PC for 400 dollars with a Intel Core i3 2120 Processor and Sapphire 11201-00-20G Radeon HD 7770 GHZ 1GB DDR5 graphics card :)

my current computer has a q6600 and that video card, but I don't think I can replace the ATI graphics card :/

Would this run better on a computer with a Intel Q6600 and ATI RADEON HD2400Pro

I looked up the system and people can run DayZ on mid-high settings and also Battlefield 3 at mid-low settings so...

Really?

btw what are your specs?

Sweet! My current laptop is the Asus 1215N and It has a 1.8Ghz Dual Core Processor and NVIDIA ION 2 Graphics, but it still can't run DayZ. :( That's one reason I want a good computer. Would this computer be good for games for a long time ( say 2-3 years?)

It has an A6 Quad Core AMD Processor with RADEON HD6530D Graphics (Integrated, I assume), And 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Sounds reasonable to me.

Could I possibly run DayZ on this? Specs: Nvidia ION 2 512 MB Graphics Card 6 GB DDR3 RAM 1.8 Ghz Dual core Intel Atom D525 Processor Please Reply A.S.A.P., Thanks Well, is anybody going to answer???
