thanks guys, I think I will try and do it with 2 more gigs of ram and a new video board...in order to spend maybe half of what would cost a new PC. I'm really not into high end games in PC (mostly strategy) but Dayz is something different I really want to play. So can you suggest a good video board? By good I mean enough to run full spec (or almost) and still not spending an awful lot of money...
