The H60 is a waste of $ get a Coolermaster 212 evo it will perform as well for alot less. If your getting a z77 motherboard you may as well get an Ivybridge CPU to make use of the board fully, yes the Ivy wont overclock as high but its Clock for clock performance is higher so you get the same performance in the end. SSD is nice but unless this a box just to play a couple of games your going to fill 128GB VERY fast try to get a second 500GB HDD for files and porn I would swap the 7970 for a GTX670 its simply the best value performance GPU around right now, if you like to OC you can clock it too GTX680 performance easy. Thats a shit PSU stick to these brands - Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, OCZ, ANTEC

You sure this is the case? I ask because i was in a supermarket yesterday full of loot, I disconnected for a piss and to grab some food and when I logged back in the loot had all vanished infact I had to run out and back to make it spawn again

You really want to ask here how to cheat/be an abusive admin?

I like semantics :) Anyway as i was once qualified as one I get irritated by kiddies in this game 50 cal'ing people from 600 meters and thinking they are knowledgable pro snipers and even ignoring that just within the realm of the game the OP's definition of a sniper is just horseshit.

Actually this is a sniper (quoted from wikipedia) A sniper is a highly trained marksman who operates in one- to two-man teams which maintain close visual contact with the enemy and engages targets from concealed positions or physical distances exceeding the detection capabilities of the enemy personnel, without being detected. These sniper teams operate independently, with little combat asset support from their parent units. Snipers typically have highly selective and specialized training and use high-precision rifles and optics, and often have sophisticated communication assets to feed valuable combat information back to their units. In addition to marksmanship, military snipers are trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation.[1] Snipers are especially effective when deployed within the terrain of urban warfare, or jungle warfare. Anything else is a bandit/wannabe sniper/ wannabe bandit/sniper kiddie shit with an inflated ego and sense of worth out of proportion to themselves to the point it may effect the earths gravitational field.

I think he means the area of map thats not shown on the DayZDB map it cuts off quite a bit of the north

That area was the place for tent cities to be a while back it became so well known it was no longer any use due to all the lone wolves out there hunting the tents down. Saying that you can still normally find a vehicle or 2 and some tents up there.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/598?vs=647 Thats the difference then take in to account anyone can clock a 670 to perform at stock 680 levels but even a heavily OC'd 660ti wont get up to a stock 670 Not sure where in the world you are but the fancier model 660ti's here cost £15-30 less than a stock 670 in my opinion the 670 is more than worth that small extra.

Save a little more and get the 670 the 192 bit memory bus on the 660ti will show its gimpness sooner (even at 1920X1080 it impacts when higher AA settings are used) the 670 for not alot more is alot better.

Stick with the noob filling plan but then find something really big to drive it off

Will run it but graphics will choke in demanding areas, so expect low FPS in cities etc

Woudn't even try to upgrade on that platform, whatever you add to it will have an inflated price and be already crappy and dated. If your on a tight budget get a cheap AM3+ board, Phenom II 965BE, 4GB DDR3 and reuse your current graphics card till you can afford new that would set you back about £130 (US$180-ish) and give you the basis of a decent current system that should last a while.

https://store.bistudio.com/arma2-operation-arrowhead £12.99 direct from bohemia I believe is the cheapest

Ok maybe I seem to rage a bit hard at them but remember they are taking maps made by other people and porting a mod made by somebodyelse on to these maps, they do this for profit. So they are taking others hard work to make a buck..... again this is not wrong if it was done well. As is the standard they do it I would applaud if it had been done by individuals or by Vilayer and released to all but its not they have taken these things from others work refused to then share their plagerised work (for others to host) while profiting from it despite it clearly being half arsed. Also I wonder did they get permission to commercially profit from the fallujah map? Its creator clearly states its not to be used for any commercial gain in its licence ArmA II - Fallujah license: You are permitted to install and use the Fallujah for personal entertainment purposes only. Any military, commercial or educational use is strictly prohibited without permission from the author. free redistribution is permitted for the original file package as long as it is kept unmodified and distributed 100% free of charge. Distribution of parts of the Fallujah is not allowed without explicit author authorization.

Problem is Vilayer are grabbing any map they can made by other peoples labours then badly porting the mod to them. Fallujah is/was an AWESOME map for recreating Iraq style patrols and ambushes/contacts..... it was made for that, it's completely shit as a DayZ map for the reasons you mentioned. I see nothing about DayZ in the map..... you seen how many armed vehicles and choppers it has? It's ARMA for people that can't make it in ARMA. Also throw a flare at night........ they didnt even bother giving the zombies a day/night cycle they wont react to the flare, they will react to a smoke grenade. Finally there is a mass of arab civilain models included in ARMA OA (so we all have them) why have Vilayer given us 2 Arab maps now and not bothered to arab the zombies (am I the only one thinking its pathetic being chased round a mosque by a catholic priest)? The joy is they claim to have 13 more maps in the pipeline great way to fragment and cheapen the mod TLDR - Vilayer are profit mongering arses whoring the mod till it dies with 3rd rate ports

DMR, M24 and M14 all use the same ammunition so its silly to give them different damages, 7.62 is 7.62 firing it from a bolt action isn't going to make it cause a bigger wound than from a semi. Like the guy above said DayZ simply has the player health higher than intended play another mod or vanilla ARMA and see how much more effective the weapons are, I suspect the COD arcadey crowd would spit feathers if this happened in DayZ....... you die fast often without a clue of why or where. You can't really use a scope with NVG's however many of the sniper weapons should have NV options. If duping wasnt reigning supreme the Thermal L85 would be rare as duping is so problematic its become too common but if you remove it hackers will just hack it in and we will get the horsesh@t arguement of "I found it and it used to be in the game so its ok". Also theres not many snipers in this mod kiddies blasting bambis with an AS50 from 700 meters is not sniping, taking an armed, tactically aware guy at 1200 using a 7.62 weapon.... now thats sniping.

Like the sound of this

Whatever I have at the time but I suppose my tops ones would be SVD camo - built in range finder allows rapid sharpshooting M14 - Great in the towns L85A2 - Godlike sight makes it the lonewolfs best friend trade off is the shittyness up close due to the sight. Lee Enfield - When you have one of these your at that "Don't give a toss" stage of play that is always fun, also dropping wannabe .50 cal "snipers" with it is funny. PDW - Takes so many ammo types its a great backup

As said above just launch ARMA OA then in the multiplayer filter put takistan life, theres a few flavours of it but jump on a server and give it a go. Personally I prefer Takistan Life Revolution.

Seeing as we have had some pretty colourful topics here that have ran their course and even plain bad topics that simply got locked I have to ask why did somebody not 10 minutes ago start a thread questioning a certain server provider and the topic has been erased from existence (even my post history doesn't show the response i posted to it). Are we all censored from saying anything bad about Vilayer?

I would try downloading it again maybe corrupt file Your not missing anything though its truly crap.... 90% of buildings cant even be entered in a city map, wasa good ARMA map is horrible for DayZ

Dont use the old Dell case lots of Dell cases use propetariary mobo mountings a normal off the shelf board has a high chance of not fitting. Also those types of cases are shockingly shite for airflow.

Put down the crack pipe and read the thread you dumb sod and as for me being a KOS bandit.... 28 bandit kills no murders...... you one of the little wannabe kiddie AS50 snipers i bagged?

Link is below title was "Why Vilayer hives are going to reduce the quality of the game they allow admin abuse" http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/94282-why-vilayer-hives-are-going-to-reduce-the-quality-of-the-game-they-allow-admin-abuse/

They pay for the box they can do what they want best way to keep check on that is to have a community list of whats shit so people can read up. Vilayer I think are scum for other reasons, Takistan being the biggest they lazily ported the mod to a premade map and couldnt even be arsed to spend the time to use the Takistan Civilian models for the zombies (there are other bugs on the map too), they then proceed to cash in as hard as they can on this bodge job of other peoples work while shoving their branding over the loading page.
