Excellent build, DO NOT GO CHEAP ON THE CASE! The case will last you through several builds, so get something extra large for future upgrades! The only recommendation I have is to grab a higher end video card. I'm running a GTX 580 Lightning and it gobbles up everything I can throw at it. Eventually they will be cheaper and I can just SLI them instead of buying a new top o' the line card. You can't future-proof your computer, but you can plan accordingly.

I've also had this happen as well. Make sure if your moving valuable items from your backpack to your inventory or vice-versa that you drop them on the ground before playing around too much. I lost an l85 this way.

I personally find the teamwork orientation and communication much better in Arma 2 than in DayZ. When I get tired of lone-wolfing it, I will log on to Arma 2 and have some good old-fashioned coop play.

Where are the mods on this one?

This made me lol.

Upon researching DayZ before my inevitable purchase, I read plenty of forum posts concerning the blatant KoS policy that most players have adopted. As I avoid the 50 player servers, maybe I have spared myself from a hectic PvP experience, though I have had my share of close encounters. Most players I have encountered so far either want nothing to do with me, or will shout "Friendly!" and declare their honest intentions. I've met several people who have traded with me, given me items, or have just been helpful in general. That being said, I have a dirty confession to make. I killed two men outside of Stary Sabor. As I approached a deer stand from the woods, I noticed a coyote backpack sitting just beyond my reach. I would not be deterred from this fortunate find, yet as I sneaked into position I noticed two players approaching through the open field. Despite several verbal warnings they continued to approach, as one peeled off to my flank and continued out of sight. Eventually I was forced to shoot one player in the face as he was looking at me with binoculars and retreated through the woods to kill his friend several minutes later. Wheres the love people? If you continue to advance despite my friendly intentions, is it wrong to open fire?

OP here. Was just raiding the airfield barracks when with a friend when sudden gunfire erupted from two gentlemen waiting for someone to come along. As they had fully automatic weapons and ghillie suits, I didn't really see the point in them fragging us. Luckily they didn't see the frag grenade that I had stored away for a rainy day. As I closed in for the kill they disconnected from the server.
