Alright thanks for all the help guys, I will look into everything you have told me :D I'll be on DayZ in due time :)

Is there any way to find out how many watts my power supply has without opening my computer? Also, what exactly is a 16x PCI-E slot? I've never done anything like this before :P Thanks for the little tutorial as well Hetstaine :)

Yea I got a desktop, and thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. As far as installing the card goes, is that hard to do? People are telling me I can do it easy with YouTube, but I'm not sure about that. I don't wanna go ripping into my computer and start messing things up.

Hey guys, I have some questions regarding what upgrades I should make to my computer so I can run DayZ. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if this type of post comes around a lot, but I need some advice from some people with computer smarts. So I ran the test to see if my computer could run Arma II (stemrequirementslab.com), and it said everything was good to go except for my graphics card, which I admit is BAD. Here's my specs: CPU: Intel® Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz CPU Speed: 3.4 GHz RAM: 8.1 GB OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit Video Card: Intel® HD Graphics Video RAM: 1.7 GB Hardware T&L: Yes Pixel Shader Version: 4.1 Vertex Shader Version: 4.1 The only thing it's saying is upgrade my graphics card, but I'm not sure what to look for or even how to install new components onto my computer. If I do get a new graphics card, will I need some other components to upgrade to keep up with it (power supply)? My budget for a graphics card is 180$, and if I HAVE to get other components then I'll dish out another 100$. So what do you recommend I do so I can run DayZ on normal/medium graphics with 40+ FPS? Thanks for any replies! EDIT: I also ran the Arma 2 demo on lowest settings and I was getting 5-10fps. It was bad.
